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

@jshdma wow. That is a long time with no relief for Oral LP - is it erosive? Meaning having large canker sore type inflammation all over your mouth. If that is the case, has any of your doctors suggested a high dose prednisone taper while beginning to take hydroxychloroquine?
LP comes in many forms with different medical names for each location. I have it almost everywhere. Optic LP is particularly dangerous as you might not have any symptoms that you’re having a flare so you can go blind before it is caught. I was lucky when I first had it in that I had about 5 minutes of total blindness one day and my eyes were in pain. The sores are actually in your eyes so you can’t see them.

Thanks for your message. Although the OLP has been going on for 8 years, I really don't know what is going on now. No sores, no ulcers, hardly pain etc. Main symptom is that my tongue + lips are swollen. This affects my speech. Also there is a constant pain on the sides of my nose. A specialist told me recently "it doesn't look that bad." Internet says nose pain indicates inflammation, but doc denied that. Tried steroid rinse, without success. I don't know what to do.
