What Are the Treatments for Erosive Lichen Planus?
Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the lining of the mouth, genitals, and other mucosal surfaces, giving rise to characteristic white patches in the affected areas. If the white patches develop into erosive ulcers of the mouth, gums, vulva, and vagina, the disease is considered to be “erosive lichen planus.” This condition is thought to be an autoimmune disorder, and treatment aims to reduce symptoms.
