    I've had breakouts on my body and inside my mouth. body happened only once with my initial episode. now i have Orange Lichen Planus. dermatologist is only doc who know anything about it or how to treat it. Give up all nightshade plants/foods if you can't get it v under control. takes 3 months to see results from that. i take doxycycline 2x day, 20mg each, keeps me calmed down. still have some redness but not sore. get endoscopy every year to be sure no problem in esophaghus. this can turn into cancer. don't ignore.
