Doctor's answer (2)
Dr. Lu Chaohui
Hello, oral lichen planus can be managed through psychological therapy—such as counseling—to help adjust and restore normal mental status; some patients may experience spontaneous remission. Local treatment aims to eliminate local irritants and resolve infectious inflammation. Systemic treatment primarily focuses on immunomodulation, including corticosteroids (e.g., adrenal cortical hormones); other immunomodulatory agents include *Tripterygium wilfordii* and *Helwingia japonica*. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
