LICHEN PLANUS -Cause,Clinical features & treatment

[@DamagedLion]

Stess anxiety and some medcines are the true reason and i believe stress is number one factor

[@heidimeigs5192]

My last dermatologist diagnosed oral lichen planus as I had had a severe outbreak on my hands and feet previously. The skin not only blistered but the skin peeled off. Took a while to get under control. Have not had a recurrence on my skin. The condition in my mouth I’ve had since 2015. Mostly my tongue is affected the worst. It literally feels scalded and will actually swell up. I believe I have both Oral lichen planus and burning mouth/tongue syndrome. Not only has this hindered my ability to eat, but also to brush my teeth properly. My teeth are In horrible shape after yrs of this condition. I am not happy with my current dermatologist and will be looking for an oral surgeon or perhaps an ENT. I have recently started taking the RX Plaquenil also known as Hydroxychloroquine. So far it has only stopped the burning tongue from getting worse. It does seem to be at least keeping it in check. The lichen planus has also affected my private parts quite severely. This has a transient pattern…..it comes and goes. At present it seems to be in remission. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for a number of years and my Dr also believes I have Lupus, although the blood work is not always consistent. Bloodwork also reveals rheumatoid factors. So yes, this does appear to definitely be an autoimmune condition. Drs keep telling me there is no certain cure for this….the most we can hope for is less severe symptoms and longer periods of remission. Good luck to all my fellow sufferers.

I rinse daily with George’s aloe Vera. Shelf stable. For the most part it keeps my oral lichen planus in remission.

Thank you! You have the most informative and comprehensive presentation regarding this. My arm/leg LP is much easier to control than my oral LP which is so painful. Hope more info leads to studies towards a cure rather than just managing.

I’m seeking my own healing. I’ll report if I find anything. Today I bought vit A I’ll see if that helps. I have to believe it will heal eventually. Good luck and be strong.

[@Rohitchoudhary-uf1jd]

Did vit A help ???

[@pamcathey4617]

I doubt it . I took it for a few weeks nothing remarkable . I’m currently on a steroid and antibiotic for a sinus infection. A bit better but I’m off the steroid tomorrow. I’ll keep trying.

[@pamcathey4617]

I started vit A two weeks ago I’m not sure if it is helping but I am getting some improvement.

More informative than my dermatologist who had the bedside manner of a plank, and has prescribed corticosteroids, which as I understand it, do not help. I started with oral lichen planus 3 months ago, then came some very itchy spots on my hands, and now the rash is all over my body except my face. My husband died 10 months ago, and this condition on top of the lonely grief is making me seriously consider suicide. Update: I am kind of getting used to it now. I saw my dentist today, and he said he thinks I have oral planus, but looking at my skin rash, he said it did not look like Lichen Planus to him, and i should see my dermatologist again. Along with other symptoms I have, he thinks it could be Lupus. I don't look forward to seeing the same Dermatologist, though. She made the diagnosis very quickly and was quite abrupt. Maybe my GP will let see another dermatologist. I'm in France by the way.

[@dentalbasics7122]

I am sorry for your loss. Oral corticosteroids are the best solution to possible quick relief . You have already written the probable cause - grief ,stress,loneliness . Get out of your house,get a dog ,go for walk join yoga class. Continue medicine if you believe they are making a difference. Stay strong.

[@jol4342]

@@dentalbasics7122 I go for walks with the dog from the farm next door, and I have two cats. I do get out and go for walks, but I have chronic pain, so I'm not really benefitting from it. I don't want to be around people just now. Thanks for your kind advice. x

Please ask your Gynecologist for specific steroid that can be applied in the vulva area.

I have suffered from this also. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I’ve been single for a number of yrs so it didn’t have an effect on my nonexistent sex life, but I did wonder how sexually active women dealt with this. 🥺🥺

I also have skin lichen palanus , can u plz suggest any tablet or vitamin which we can consume to reduce the spreading? And how it would be stop its already has been a year, and I'm continuously going to dermatologist. Plz suggest any thin.

[@dentalbasics7122]

Hi Mr Kakar. You would have read the cause of Lichen Planus. So think about the cause -is it due to stress or due to medication ? Both in long duration . You will be able to reach solution. Changing you lifestyle to reduce stress . If you are taking any medication you need to consult your Dr.If you believe alternate medicine ,you may like to try a good homeopathic treatmemt.

[@shivali85]

Try ayurveda panchkarma

[@sabriyeboz191]

[@dentalbasics7122]

Changing the washing detergent is a very good suggestion.

[@pamcathey4617]

When you say slow healing……do we just have to wait? Does nothing help? I’m at around 15 months.

[@dentalbasics7122]

15 months is just correct slow & you should definitely be able to confirm improvement if the treatment is effective

[@dentalbasics7122]

You may also try homeopathy which is an alternative medicine . You may google & read more about it .

How does lichens planus heal I’ve had it for a year

[@dentalbasics7122]

Heals slowly .Healing is relatively faster in the mouth than in the body

[@pamcathey4617]

Im waiting patiently, I try different things but I can’t say anything speeds it along.@@dentalbasics7122

[@ramanbhatia4881]

Does homeopathy is effective for oral lichen Planus.? I am suffering from last 5 months.

[@dentalbasics7122]

I think it works provided the doctor is good 😊.Also it works slowly so patience is needed. You can try for a month or so & see if it works for you. Also like in Ayurveda some Doctors restrict you from taking certain foods while other homeopaths don't . So find a doctor who matches your wave lenght.

You may ask me questions here please .

[@fredericksarkodie4881]

How do you treat skin lichen planus

[@dentalbasics7122]

Please go to a dermatologist & seek their advice. Also you know your body best ,so you may try to figure out the cause starting from the time when your skin rashes appeared. Basic treatment should be same since it involves the body as whole.

Which doctor should be consulted for oral lichen planus..? Please reply... Im a malayali...

[@dentalbasics7122]

Anjana hi,u can consult a dentist who has specialized in "ORAL MEDICINE" -u may google "the best Dentist near me " or even go to any dental college near you . Alternately you may also try homeopathic medicines -if you believe in them. If you are in Kerala,-ayurveda is natural. Try & go with what works for you . You can start with English medicine for faster relief.
