Suggest Treatment For Oral Lichen Planus
I have oral lichen planus and due to a failed wisdom extraction, I am awaiting surgery to remove the tooth this week. However, in the intervening few days between the dentist failure and the future op, my lichen planus (which appeared to be in remission) seems to have started again, presumably due to the trauma in the dentist chair. Burning sensation in tongue and root of mouth - looking for suggestions to sooth the irritation?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
If you have no pain or discomfort and if only white lesions are present, you may not need any treatment.
I would suggest you to apply the steroid cream on the lesion twice daily for at least 15-20 days, you can appreciate the improvement.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
