@bestoflife yes, I have started having swollen gums with OLP but haven’t seen my specialist yet because the swelling subsides when I use my prescription gel for OLP flares.

@bestoflife it is Lyderm gel used off label. When first prescribed, it is recommended for only seven days, but my mouth was so inflamed I had to use it for ten days. After that, I have been using it only when I get a flare, as needed.
