"I had a severe case of erosive lichen planus on the inside of my cheek and gum surfaces, painful and increasing in area affected by the day. This was the second steroid prescribed, the first was an oral rinse used 4-6 times per day. When no result was seen, my oral surgeon prescribed fluocinonide gel used 3-4 times daily. The lesions responded almost immediately to the treatment, and after two weeks my mouth is healed and pain-free. I am using the gel once per day as maintenance and go back to the doctor next week."

"My zopiclone remained in remission for good 7 years. It flared up just recently. I have been using fluocinonide for 2 months now, but I don't see any improvement either in itching or the rash. I have been getting more bumps and rashes each day. I was given a triamcinolone acetonide injection too, which helped with the itching but only for a couple of days."
