lichen planus?

Lichen planus is a recurrent, pruritic, inflammatory eruption characterized by small, discrete, polygonal, flat-topped, violaceous papules that may coalesce into rough scaly patches, often accompanied by oral lesions. Diagnosis is usually clinical and supported by skin biopsy. Treatment generally requires topical or intralesional corticosteroids. Severe cases may require phototherapy or systemic immunosuppressants.

Lichen Planus in my mouth-alternatives to steroid treatment?

---

I have been diagnosed with Lichen Planus and, while the oral surgeon has told me that no one really knows what causes it, we have gone over and over everything that was happening medically at the time that it cropped up. It looks like it was caused by an allergic reaction to Blue #1 (a dye that is in damn near everything!). I had changed a med that was a very pretty blue, started to get sick, lots of vertigo, etc, and then the mouth started to hurt. The OS has me using Fluocinonide solution, as a rinse, and gawk! It's awful, but it works. However, now that the telltale signs are gone, my tongue feels swollen and sore, and I can't eat anything that is even slightly acidic or salty, or rough. The rinse isn't helping that, and neither does a lidocain rinse. What am I missing? I'm very careful not to ingest anything with blue #1, & I've cut out just about everything good from my diet, including tomatoes (and anything with t sauce), salts, coffee, tea, anything rough. Help!

Hi! I've been in dentistry for over 25 years and this is a true nightmare. This occurs more in women then men and no one really knows what causes it or what to do. The website above has a herbal combination that has helped some of my patients. One true factor is stress and a high Ph level in your mouth. One patient of mine used sea salt rinses 4-5 times a day and got relief. Another went strickly vegatarian and the sores reduce in one mouth almost completely. BUT before she did that she had a total body flush and went on huge doses of Probiotics. I have since put all my pateints on 4 tablets of refridgerated High combination of Probiotics from the health store and they all got relief in 1-2 weeks. They now take this every day. I had a horse that had mouth sores so bad we didn't know what to do. I put him on 6 capsules 2 times a day and it cleared up totally. He get 6 a day for the rest of his life. Some holestic doctors think this is bowel related. Your entired digestive system is out of whack. Try the salt rinses, the clean diet and large doses of probiotics. Give this one month before you give up. I think you will see a remarkable difference. Stomach issues are the worse for this and you know your body. So give this a try, it can't hurt, it can only help. If you have any other questions, please ask, and make sure you have 3 dental cleanings a year and change your tooth brush every 2 months. Good luck, I wish you the very best. ps..No sugar, no alcohol and no fast foods. This destroys your immune system.  (+ info)

Is tiredness a part of Oral Lichens Planus?

---

Tiredness, dizziness, itchy, burning and throbbing mouth. Can anybody relate to this illness? Is there anything to help control the symptoms? has anyone tried homeopathy threatments?
Oral lichen planus signs and symptoms may include one or more of the following:

Small, pale raised areas or bumps that form a lacy network on your tongue or inside your cheeks
Shiny, red, slightly raised patches on your tongue or cheeks
Red, open sores in your mouth
Mouth pain
Burning in your mouth
Dry mouth
A sense that your mouth feels rough
Sore gums
Sensitivity to hot or spicy foods
A metallic taste or a blunted taste sensation
Burning, swelling, bleeding and irritation with tooth brushing

I'm not sure if fatigue is a symptom...but it could be.
Apparently stress, anxiety can cause and worsen this condition...also allergies, food intolerances..and some medical conditions such as..."immune disorders, liver disease, graft-versus-host disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis, lupus erythematosus, primary biliary cirrhosis, Sjogren's syndrome, ulcerative colitis, alopecia areata, and myasthenia gravis."

It appears to be managable...
-Lifestyle Changes - proper diet (filled with fruits, vegetables, protein, avoiding spicy & acidic), exercise, rest
-Good oral hygiene
-Avoid alcohol & tobacco products

I was diagnosed with Lichen Planus? Has anyone heard of it and know of a cure?

---

I would like all the advice I can get. I have been seeing my dermatologist about this for 6 yeras. They do not know what causes it and how to cure it for sure, so I was wondering if anyone has had experience with Lichen Planus or know of someone that does. If so, please share your story with me.
know about lichen planus but also know that there is no cure for it.  (+ info)

what medication can I use to get rid of lichen planus in my mouth?

---

I woujld like to find a mouth rinse or something to ease the discomfort of lichen planus from my mouth...I hate it!!
Lidocaine mouthwashes. Your doctor or dentist will be able to prescribe them to you. Follow the directions that the prescription is written for. The lidocaine will numb the mouth area and help make you feel a little bit more comfortable.
Ask your dr about predisone, a pill that is a steroid to help reduce inflammation. It may help also.
There is no cure for lichen planus according to a few websites I looked at. A few stated that it normally goes away on its own, but the oral form is usually worse than the skin form.  (+ info)
