Oral lichen Planus: What home remedies or medications help you?

@fancyrph My derm prescribes swish and spit that only has lidocaine and a Maalox type antacid. I can't have benadryl because of dry mouth and narrow angle eyes. I just met with my derm again a couple of hours ago and she is having the hospital pharmacist to see if they can compound a swish and spit that doesn't have a steroid that might act like one to heal. I have sagging inner cheeks from too many steroids products in my mouth.

Licorice or licorice root acts like steroids in the body but you have to be careful since it can increase blood pressure. I used it in the beginning for several months with great relief. I felt like my cells were getting support since they lacked something. Anyway, licorice was an ingredient in a product called Glutamed by NuMedica. Of course it’s not a prescription but not everything has to be prescribed to work. It is all trial & error since there is not much experience with OLP out there. There’s no real treatment & it’s frustrating to treat. I’ve been dealing with this for 8 years.
