Oral lichen Planus: What home remedies or medications help you?
Autoimmune Diseases | Last Active: Mar 1 11:24am | Replies (355)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!

I have lichen planus of the scalp and nothing seems to help
I can highly recommend going to a University Medical Center. They were so helpful to me at the Dental School I saw. She spent hours with me! And for a more rapid repair of the lip area Clobetasol Propionate gel is a must. I put it on at bedtime. Good luck!

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)?
