Q

A 40 year old woman presents to your clinic for a white lesion she identified on the lower right buccal mucosa near her wisdom tooth. She reports a burning sensation in that region. On clinical examination, you observe a lace-like network, striated pattern of slightly elevated grey-white lines. The superficial layer can be scrapped off. A biopsy was taken and it is confirmed to be a type of lichen planus. What would be the most appropriate first treatment option?

A) Do nothing and review every 6 months to check lesions.
B) Prescribe topical nystatin and review for resolution of symptoms.
C) Prescribe tacrolimus and dexamethasone administration via intra-lesional injections.
D) Surgical excision of the entire lesion and review yearly to check for remission.
