Oral lichen Planus: What home remedies or medications help you?
Autoimmune Diseases | Last Active: Mar 16 5:59pm | Replies (297)Comment receiving replies
I have been diagnosed with lichen planus and as a professional flutist, it is ruining my life!! I am now thinking of a nutritionist and doing an elimination diet. Any thoughts? My oral surgeon is suggesting going to University of Pa. to find out more info. Right now, I cannot perform professionally. thick lower lip, dry, scaly and numb. The inside has been getting better as I have been on steroids for almost one month.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!

@robinkani welcome to Connect. You'll notice that I moved your message to this active discussion about oral lichen planus. I did this so that you can connect with other members like @maryz @cmtg @frane1939 and @bustrbrwn22.
As a professional flutist I can't imagine getting this. I'm a horn player and suffer from canker sores, but they go away. I agree with your doctor about going to a learning medical center. I hope they will have suggestions for you. How have the steroids be affecting you? Are they also helping the lower lip (so crucial for the flute)?
