Brief Answer:
topical wysolone safer in diabetics
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
For lichen planus, I prefer to give tablet dapsone after ruling out G6 PD deficiency.
It need to be taken for atleast 6 months for control of disease.
You may continue applying wysolone powder or may apply topical gels containing triamcinolone acetate available in.market with various names like cinort gel 3-4 times per day. Other alternatives is topical tacrolimus ointment.
These medications are safer to use in diabetics. Oral steroids are indicated only during episodes of flare up. These are very carefully given in diabetics.
avoid spicy food, scratching the area.
I hope it helps. If you have any further query you may ask me.
Stay healthy.
