A member asked:
Are there alternative treatments to lichen planus in my mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Most people with oral lichen planus don't need yo do anything because there are usually no symptoms. There is no cure and if it is severe enough for you to have symptoms then you will need either topical or systemic steroids depending on the severity. I am unaware of any alternative treatments for this condition.
