I have had both oral and topical lichen planus for over 6 years. My skin has stopped itching, but is spotted all over and my mouth is awful. It flares up so badly that I cannot eat. I have gone from 179 lbs to 125 lbs. I’m miserable most of the time. Been on high doses of prednisone and many other medications. Often having a bad reaction to some. Seen several dermatologist including one at Duke and many dentist, an oral specialist . No clear answers to why I’m sick or how to best treat it. I’m often depressed and don’t know how to care for my mouth. Almost on a completely liquid diet. NEED HELP😢

Glad to see Dr. Sciubba in this webcast! I was a dental resident when Dr. Sciubba was Director of our dental program at Long Island Jewish Hospital back in 1996....He really is the best!

Here are mild, bland, unflavored toothpastes that have helped me: Cleure and OraNurse. I also use the TEPE Special Care Soft-Bristle Toothbrush, Post-Surgery Toothbrush for Sensitive Teeth and Gums and have a new one sent to me from Amazon every month.

Does it tend to get worse? Have you ever seen it go away and not come back if it was drug induced?
