I have just been diagnosed with Oral Lichen Planus. Now it is spreading to my face. I don't know what type of doctor can treat the whole situation-oral, facial and whatever and wherever it appears nested. Anyone been to Mayo Rochester? Can you recommend someone who specializes?

@mjq I’m so sorry to hear about your OLP. Was this diagnosed by your PCP or other speciality?

Were you started on medication?
I know you would like to go to Mayo Rochester, but Mayo wants you to try all local resources first. So you want to find a knowledgeable rheumatologist or dermatologist in your area first. You can contact university medical centers or comprehensive medical centers to ask if they have doctors who treat OLP. Since this is a chronic disease, you want someone who is relatively nearby.
You can also call GARD, the genetic and rare diseases organization. They can probably give you the name of a doctor in your area. https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/
Will you call your PCP tomorrow and get some referrals in your area?
