Hi! In addition to the information you have provided, there is another type of Lichen Planus not mentioned.
It is called "Esophageal Lichen Planus.". This is extremely rare. There are approximately, less than 50 people in the Country that have this. I am one of those patients! Unfortunately!!!
My esophagus is trying to close. My immune system is attacking the mucus membranes in my body. I have had to go under anesthesia twice this year so the doctor can try to stretch my esophagus a little bit.
They're not able to stretch it much, due to the risk of tearing it. Things get stuck in my esophagus and other problems.
I guess I'm at a very high risk for Esophageal Cancer.
I also have Oral Lichen Planus and Lichen Planus on my skin.
I don't have Lichen Sclerosis yet. It sounds miserable! I'm sorry you're suffering with this.❤️

Thank you for the information. I have been having trouble swallowing. Food or water will go half way down and then stop. Pain is bad. It will slowly relax and go down. They talked about it.
🥰 for the information.
