Hi
I've OLP for about 6 years and OP in my genitals and I suspect, in my oesophagus - difficulty swallowing, feeling of constriction and ulcers for approx. 1 year.
Saw a dermatologist at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane 3rd Feb 2026, prescribed hydroxychloroquine at 2 tabs per day.
I've had a very positive result in as much as the affected area in genitals is gone, no more swallowing troubles and a huge reduction in the soreness and gum issues in my mouth.
Why did I have to wait 6 years, 2 biopsies and much pain to get this relief?
No nausea, and very mild diarrhea.
Keep persisting.
Enjoy reading and learning from all the comments.
Cheers
