For erosive oral lichen planus with mild symptoms, antifungal medications—such as itraconazole or ketoconazole—may be prescribed under a physician’s guidance. Concurrently, sodium bicarbonate mouth rinses may be used. In cases of more severe symptoms, corticosteroids—such as prednisolone—may be administered to control the disease.
