What is Oral Lichen Planus And What Are Its Alternative Cure?
Oral lichen planus is so named because the lesions produced on the skin looks a lot like lichens. It is an inflammatory condition which is usually present in the lining of the mouth. It can affect almost any part of your mouth, starting from your gums, lips, tongue and sometimes your esophagus and throat. It can be recognized by the lacy, white patches on the skin. There is no particular age for the condition to appear but it usually appears in adults in their forties. The beginning of the condition may not be very difficult to deal with and it may last for only a few days. But once the disease gets chronic, it can last for your entire lifetime. There is no cure for the condition but the effects can be controlled with medications and alternative treatments.
