@jshdma. I've been to three dermatologist who use the generic statement regarding LP, "we don't know what causes it and there is no treatment." It's hard to accept that when we suffer. Just this past week I had another Mohs surgery. This one was on my right leg. I've had OLP plus numerous squamous cancers requiring Mohs on both legs and both arms. Since this surgery was with a new dermatology doc I again asked my standard question, "Is there and connection between LP and squamous cancer?" This doc said, yes, generally. Boy did he have my attention. He talked about medicines called Jak inhibitors. He said it is usually used to treat rheumatoid arthritis but he has used it to treat LP "with good results." I will be doing research this week and then contacting my dermatologist locally to see if it is something I can try. Hoping this information can help others. Blessings.
@jshdma it is so true about doctors knowing nothing about all the diseases and treatments. When I first got my autoimmune disease and even now, I carry an article describing the disease to the doctor. I have found it good to educate them!
Try it!
