Vitamin A Acid in Treatment of Oral Lichen Planus
Abstract
Abstract Seventeen patients with oral lichen planus, two of them also with lichen planus patches on the glans penis, were treated with vitamin A acid. The systemic effect resulted in regression of discrete and leukoplakia-like papules.

The side effects of such treatment are mentioned. References 1....
