Topical treatments for lichen planus include:
- Creams and ointments with corticosteroids which can control the rash and relieve itching
- Bandages with Zinc oxide and Ichthammol which soothe the skin and create a protective barrier
- Moisturising products (emollients) to keep your skin hydrated
In severe cases, your clinician may suggest additional treatments like oral steroids, antihistamines, hydroxychloroquine, metronidazole, immune system-modifying tablets, retinoids or light therapy.
For oral lichen planus, you can also use mouthwashes and sprays, which are easy to use and can help soothe the affected areas in the mouth and alleviate symptoms like sore gums or burning.
