Hi sadea0208 and others. I've dealt with OLP for over 25 years with gum tissue sloughing off. The dentist did not know what it was. I finally had to go to a teaching hospital to get the diagnosis. Further down the road I had it on my legs, vagina, hands, arms and back. I was prescribed Dexamethasone oral rinse also but it burned my mouth to much to use even cutting it half and half with water. Finally a dermatologist prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide dental cream 0.1%. I only used it on my gums. It comes in a tiny tube but it does wonders to calm the tissue. Now I'm undergoing dental surgery and it has caused a flare so I'm using the cream again. It was interesting that I asked my dentist to prescribe it but they said they never heard of it and would not go forward with finding out more. I had to go back to the dermatologist to get a new Rx. Now I also use peroxil (reduced strength--mixed with water) a couple of times a day to help with healing from the surgery. Best of luck. Hope this helps someone.
