Hey,

I think i have had olp untreated for about 10 years when it was bad i would struggle to open my mouth and it felt like the cheeks needed to be ripped open to be able to open my mouth. luckily i finally got reffered to the right department and got treatment, betamethasone, after a biopsie. after using the treatment for about 5weeks in total it cleared up to the point where the consultant could still it but felt no further treatment was needed i have the abilty to get the medcine again of it flares up again.

But since my mouth has got better i now have what dr google makes me think is lp on my penis v painful some of the time to the point it gives penis an egg timer shape look, is this normal i have also had a very itchy scalp which if i itch has a very sharp pain... is this normal treat in one area pops up in another.... is there any treatment that could tackle all three is i have three..... hiw would they take a biopse from penis and scalp i was intrested and saw the piece taken from my mouth and would not really want to do that.

thanks in advance

    Please don't scratch your scalp, I have it also, and my doctor said do not scratch your scalp just rub it gently
