Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease. It's an auto immune disease Symptoms can be controlled but not cured completely. Take care of oral hygiene. Brush properly. Take healthy diet.Use alcohol free mouthwash. Avoid spicy and acidic food.Never take alcohol tobacco. Regular visit a good dentist .Corticosteroid can help but take them only in doctors supervision.
