Oral lichen Planus: What home remedies or medications help you?

Posted by lovebug61 @lovebug61, Apr 4, 2019

Anyone in the group suffer from Oral Lichen Planus. I am at my wits end with all these erosive sores in my mouth. I've had two biopsies , one in the inside cheek and one under the side of my tongue. The spot under the tongue is extremely sore to touch and has been for over a year. It scares me because the soreness never goes away, sometimes it isn't as sore but nothing helps. Any home remedies for this dreadful condition?

Thank you for those tips! Its true its more on one
side that the other! I've never experienced any "scabbing".
Clobetasol cream during a flare is a godsend against pain.

I called them scabs for lack of a better term. The sores were and are brilliant red and as they become better, they get a white opaque cover on them that looks like a soft, mucous like cover. The "scab" is easily lost when touched, like applying ointment with a QTip. Does the Clobetasol help heal?
