Vaginal pain Lichen Planus

@snowslow1 - I recently had a recurrence of oral lichen planus but this time also vaginal and anal. On top that I also had a yeast infection. I was prescribed Nystatin oral rinse which did nothing for me. Then I was prescribed oral Prednisolone rinse and that eased it some, but still did not clear it. Finally my specialist prescribed Lyderm gel to apply on my cheeks and gums with a QTip twice a day for seven or eight days. Tasted ghastly, but it did the trick! Cleared the yeast and oral lichen planus in my mouth as well as the vaginal and anal even though I had used it only in my mouth.

I was surprised that my specialist prescribed that for inside my mouth as the label on the tube of Lyderm said it is not to be used internally but my pharmacist said this was “off label” (?) treatment. It worked well for me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Have you had anymore episodes with LP sinus you used the Lyderm! I’m trying to get all the information I can so that I can let my doctor know.

Thank you for information.
