Bullous lichen planus treated with oral minipulse therapy: A rare case report

Abstract

Oral Lichen planus (OLP) is a common mucocutaneous disorder with a multifactorial aetiology, affecting the womenmore commonly than men. Most OLP are asymptomatic, except the atrophic and erosive forms.Till date many treatment modalities are implicated to treat this disorder, but no therapy is considered as the single most effective, without side-effects and remission of the lesion. As the treatment of OLP is challenging to the oral practitioners, here we report a case of successful management of extensive, symptomatic bullous and erosive oral lichen planus with a novel treatment protocol-oral minipulse therapy with betamethasone.
