Lichen Planus Arms and Legs (not oral)

Posted by patcarm56 @patcarm56, 1 day ago

Anyone dealing with Lichen Planus? Torso only, not oral. Arms and legs. 3rd recurrence over the years. So far have tried only topical treatments. Years ago had some light treatments, not sure UAV or what. Thanks.

For flare ups triamcinalone injection or oral prednisone can offer relief
if you don’t have any conflict with other medical conditions. There are newer
immune blockers that may work but they are costly and off label for some
insurance coverage.

Have been using triamcinalone as a topical. Did not know about injections. Do you know the name the immune blockers?
Thanks
