"I have had lichen planus for over 12 years. It comes and goes. This ointment works fast and well to treat them, so they clear up. It takes about 7-10 days to completely resolve, but I see results in a couple of days."

"I've been diagnosed with this Lichen Planus for the last two years. The topical cream clobetasol helped for the first 3-6 months, making it go away. It seemed the summer weather or hot areas triggers it, so it came back. It's awful to have this and not be able to find the cure... I still use clobetasol, but it does not help much!"

"I was prescribed and tried triamcinolone acetonide for several weeks, which had little effect. I had a previous bout of alopecia areata and still had a little Clobex left. After reading a lot of information and just a couple of days before my next appointment, I tried a little on a few of the spots on my arm, and they immediately started to look better. The PA that was treating me was impressed enough to give me a box of OLUX-E foam samples to try, and the clearing effect was immediate, showing major improvement in just days."

"This stuff (clobetasol) is absolutely worthless for my condition, for one thing, the dosage 0.05 is not strong enough, and my dermatologist claims that she can't get it any higher, but that is not what the Internet states. I'll give her one more chance to find something that works for me, or I'm OUT!!! There are several more drugs that are available. I give clobetasol a big fat '0'. I've been suffering with this rubbish for almost two years."

"I got lichen planus starting this summer season. Biopsy confirmed. I take 2 different blood pressure meds. One a beta-blocker, which I read can cause this. Dermatologist says he has a pill for this. I was supposed to get off the BP meds, and I did for about 2 weeks per med. He says 8 weeks off BP meds. Mom died of a stroke in the ‘90s. So I’m trying again going off metoprolol for 8 weeks. So, I didn’t get the pill because I’m still on BP meds. He asked me about coming back, I told him no, I’ll try again for 8 weeks without BP meds. Metoprolol is an added med for my main blood pressure med, and it does help. So I risk a stroke to try to rid myself of this stuff. Clobetasol 15g tube lasted one week, no help, fluocinolone no help. Used creams about a month. Going to try Emuaid max strength. I did get off my cholesterol med. That did help for the itching, which isn’t as intense as it used to be. CeraVe itch jar cream helps too."

"I was diagnosed with lichen planus about 2 years ago. I started having my teeth cleaned every 3 months, switching from dentist to periodontist. I have been treated with clobetasol and tacrolimus. I have had significant improvement. I had my first visit with the specialist, who said my mouth was a mess. At three months, he was surprised at how well my mouth looked. I, however, didn't understand that I needed to use this for the rest of my life! I went back for a follow-up visit after not having used clobetasol for about 3 months, and he said there is one spot in my mouth which is again a mess. He said this is a pre-cancerous condition and there is no cure."

"Works great with my mouth lichen planus. Unfortunately, it is not for internal use. I heard about some patch development by Sheffield University, UK, that can be attached to the tongue. That would be a great idea to try, but I don’t know where and how to purchase them. I will give 5 stars to Dermovate."

"I used clobetasol, and it exacerbated my lichen planus. It made it so bad that I ended up with an infection and had to have surgery to clean out the wound."

"I noticed one reviewer said this medicine exacerbated her Lichen Planus. I believe this is what's happening to me. Been on it a week and my oral sores are worse than when I started. Beyond painful."

"Having tried betamethasone and triamcinolone for lichen planus, I have found that neither works as well as clobetasol, which is, of course, far more expensive."
