Oral Lichen Planus

Posted by diana70 @diana70, Dec 24, 2024

I have been diagnosed with oral lichen planus for over 12 years. Originally it was mild and able to control with Duke’s Mouthwash. In last 5 months have had two major flareups with considerable pain. My condition was managed by my general dentist. I now feel I need someone who specializes in OLP, but have had no luck finding anyone. I live in the Columbia, MD area which is near Baltimore. Does anyone know an OLP specialist in my area?

@louise05 to learn how to use Mayo Clinic Connect is just to start using it to get comfortable with it! I was a total neophyte when I started using the site. If you look at the right hand side of this page, there is a boxed area that asks “New to Mayo Clinic Connect?” Click on it and it should take you to lots of ‘where is’ and ‘how to’ sites’.
Check out some of the other discussions on oral lichen planus. Many are very helpful!
