Can oral lichen planus heal itself?


Dedicated to your healing journey.
Oral lichen planus is not self-limiting and cannot heal itself. Psychological factors, endocrine factors, immune infections, genetics, systemic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, etc. are all related to the incidence of oral lichen planus. The disease is more common in middle-aged women. Most of the lesions are symmetrical. There are miliary white or gray papules composed of stripes, which constitute reticular, annular, dendritic or plaque lesions. There is no clear boundary between the damaged area and the normal mucosa, which can be mixed with congestion and erosion, and even ulcers. Oral lichen planus often needs to remove stimulating factors locally. Local words, you can choose to locally rub vitamin A acid. In addition to the application of systemic immune regulation drugs, you also need to adjust physiological, psychological and dietary conditions to prevent eating spicy and stimulating foods.
