The correct term for oral moss should be oral lichen planus. Oral lichen planus usually does not heal on its own and needs to be treated professionally, and the treatment time varies from person to person, usually 2 to 3 months for mild cases, and 1 to 3 years, or possibly longer, for severe cases.
Currently, the commonly used treatments are localized medication and systemic medication. Commonly used local medications include retinoic acid ointment, mycophenolic gargle, clobetasol gel, etc. Commonly used systemic medications include prednisone, hydroxychloroquine, thymopeptide enteric coated tablets, transfer factor and so on. The use of medication needs to be under the guidance of a doctor.
The same disease, the patient’s condition is different, the time of treatment is also different. If the symptoms of oral lichen planus are serious or have not been improved, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.
