Healing, I'm not about to start an argument with someone on some forum on the internet, but your post says it all. " RARE lichen planus is a GREAT possibility" How could something RARE be a great possibility? And Lilo CLEARLY said she had cold sores, a rather obvious manifestation of HPV. Furthermore, you can't justify that this kind of medication, one which clearly has strong side effects, is worth the risk just because it worked for one person...I have nothing against you personally and I truly hope you get cured, but your posts do have the tendency to come off pretty condescending. If you have to say "no offense" you should probably either not say anything or reword your statement. That's etiquette
