Hi about to try a little experiment on lichen planus and lichen sclorosis
Posted , 19 users are following.
I have lichen sclorosis and lichen planus of the vulva. I have had this for about 14 years. Dermovate is not the best control medication although it is just about all there is. My symptoms are at present full blown. My dermatologist is thinking oral steroids..I am not thinking that way at all. I have had a look at the 48 hour fast idea which is thought to reset the immune system. You have to do this one twice a year. I am going to give this a shot in September so anyone who wants to join me on this give me a shout cause I could do with the support. Also there is a new study on tumeric and oral lichen planus(mucus membranes) Apparently in clinical trials the oral lichen planus cleared in 6 weeks using a topical turmeric ointment which was specially prepared.However the intment did make the patients very sore during the 6 week process. If the fasting does not work then I guess it is to the kitchen for me with a lot of tumeric root. You can find all of this on this net just put in 48 hour fast resets the immune system or tumeric heals oral lichen planus. We can but try, hope, and try again..maybe this can work.

Curious..how have you kept your flare ups at bay. Is it by managing your stress, having family support or your treatment plan? How often to you use the clobetasol with the topical estrogen? At this time sitting or walking for long periods is uncomfortable for me. I did a short yoga workout this morning that seemed to help. I'm hopeful that soon this flare up will calm down.

I believe that it is the calendula ointment. Also, I only wash with Johnson's baby bar with added moisturizer. After my shower, I put on the calendula. Stress does not seem to cause any flare-ups. I rarely use the clobetasol and estrogen . I believe that the baby soap, calendula and the probiotic yougurt have almost cured me.

As to the fasting - Go for it - but carefully - you don't want to faint or get light headed when out and about
As to the turmeric - Where is the trial of topical application being carried out? It wouldl be really interesting to foolow that up
I think I would go down the oral root for Turmeric - but be careful to wear suitable clothes as it is a monster to remove if dribbled onto self!
