Has anyone had an outbreak in your mouth?
Posted , 9 users are following.
After biopcy, My GYN confirmed I had Lichen Sclerosus. He has me on the creams. When I went for my follow up a couple of weeks ago I told him I thought I had the same thing breaking out in my mouth. He said you can not get it in the mouth. The symtoms seemed the same except the liesons in my mouth hurt MUCH more! I found an article from the US NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE, NATIONAL INSTITUT OF HEALTH that says it is rare, but you can have an outbreak in the mouth.

Has anyone else had a mouth problem and have been told the same as I was??
I'm in severe pain in my mouth to the point I can't put anything in it It even hurts to swallow! I am trying to find a Dr. that can treat this.. My primary doctor is on vacation, so I may go to ER to get some to relief for the pain.
The report I found says cases of the mouth are very rare. If any of you are having red, painful leisons in your mouth you may want to look in the direction of Lichen Sclerosus.

Shirley, I have both LP and LS of the vulva. I also have a friend who has LP
of the oral mucosa and another colleague who has LS in their arm pit.
Apparently both can affect any part of the body but the mouth and vulva
are the most uncomfortable. My Dermatologist said that I should inform my Dentist
that I had vulval LS & LP. When I did, just a couple of weeks ago at my check up, she
was really pleased and explained that it can not be transferred from one area to another
but it highlights the vulnerability of a person and allows a thorough check of the
mouth. So we should all be informing our dentists.

eats a very low acid diet. She was also prescribed some sort of oral
steroid treatment and a local anaesthetic paste. I will see her soon
and find out exactly what.

Shirley, I spoke to my friend yesterday. Her mouth is good at the
moment, she does eat acid foods but in moderation and too much
causes a flare up. Her dentist has treated her with something
called Pimecrolimus cream which she uses twice daily when it
is bad. She had a really bad flare up at Christmas which she
believes was triggered by red wine. Her Dentist put her on oral
steroids to control it and this was successful. She says she
will never drink wine again. 😥 Hope this helps and that you get
on top of things.

Thanks for the info. My primary doctor precribed some meds for me for the mouth. 1 is a steroid pill that I let melt on and spit out. My drugstore had to order it so I haven't got to use yet..hopefully they will have it today.
