Oral Lichen Planus from 2.10yrs
I am suffering from Oral Lichen planus from last 2.8 Years in side cheeks of mouth.
I consulted 2 Skin Specialist they suggested Tess, Tosti(Triamicilone Acetonide) creams with Betnesol(bethamethasone) tabs (mix with water and used as mouth wash).
After 1 year Dr recommended Medrol 16MG(Methylprednisolone) with Tantum mouth wash due to severe burning while eating food.
From last 1 week i am feeling cheeks sensitivity, some discomfortness.
As per his latest recommendation it will be curable with Cyclosporine mouthwash.
Earlier I was thinking it was too much cost(as per Dr. around 5000Rs).
From last 1 week i am feeling cheeks sensitivity and having some discomfortness.
I want to use Cyclosporine(first immunosuppressant that acted selectively to suppress T-cell immunity) if it's work better.
And I read in Google, Lichen planus has been treating effectively using Diode laser.
Now black/darn brown and little white lines are there.
Please suggest which is good one.
