Hi,
Treatment
Care of OLP is within the scope of Oral medicine speciality. Currently there is no cure for lichen planus but there are certain types of medicines used to reduce the effects of the inflammation. Lichen planus may go into a dormant state after treatment. There are also reports that lichen planus can flare up years after it is considered cured.
Medicines used to treat lichen planus include:
Oral and topical steroids.
Oral retinoids
immunosuppressant medications
hydroxychloroquine
tacrolimus
dapsone
Aloe vera
I do advise you to contact your doctor / dentist anyway.-
Take care and good luck.-

Lamisil (terbinafine hydrochloride) is a prescription medication that is used to treat fingernail or toenail fungus. A new form of Lamisil (oral granules) has also been approved to treat a fungal infection called tinea capitis (also known as ringworm of the scalp).
It does not say that it could be used in the mouth, please double check with a doc/pharmacist.
