Treatments for Lichen Planus
October 1, 2026
There are many medication options available to treat lichen planus - although this is good news, it can also feel overwhelming! We've developed a guide that describes how to know which medicine is right for you and how to know if it's working (or if you should switch). We also describe many of the treatments available, including how they work, how quickly they take effect, the possible side effects, and required lab monitoring.
This is only meant to be an overview; You and your doctor should discuss your goals and medical history to determine which treatment is best for you.
