please , anyone know if any meds help with mouth 👄 sores and the occasional genital sores / ulcers?

I’ve had Lupus for five years now and this is the first time I’ve been troubled with them … so very painful 😣

Thanks for hopefully reading this.

Hi Littleandperfect ( great name ). My Rheunatologist prescribes a three in one mouthwash for me that takes away the soreness of the mouth ulcers and limits their time too. It is soluble prednisalone 2.5 mg, soluble antibiotic and Nystatin liquid. I use a pipette of Nystatin and one prednisalone with one antibiotic and poor on lukewarm water that has been boiled previously. I rinse my mouth with it up to four times daily and it works.

Genital sores are extremely painful and cause such discomfort and distress. Mine have now been diagnosed as Behcets . There is nothing that will take the pain away completely but I use Instillagel local anaesthetic syringes which does numb the area for short periods. I am so sorry you get these. The most successful treatment is Colchiccine which does help the frequency of the sores but it has some nasty gut side effects. You can get used to it in time, I certainly have and if you have the ulcers regularly is worth persevering with. Good luck I know Hiw painful these things are xx
