welcome to hcm,
if it is a mild for m of lichen planus nothing to worry it will get healed by itself within a month.
topical steroid application
anti allergic medication like anti histamines.
anti histamines may be prescribed.
i do not think you have to continue dapsone. dapsone is used when multiple treatment modalitis have failed. especially in the erosive lichen planus.
you can discontinue the treatment once the lesions have disappered
hope this explains
with regards
