@becsbuddy Hi! Thank you for the response, I have been to a dentist, had a biopsy by an oral surgeon, prescribed steroids by ENT doctor and told by immunology they do not treat, I have not seen a rheumatologist but I called one and they said they had no idea but they would see me. I just spoke to a peridontist today who said they do treat it and can see me in Jamuary 2026. I am going to make that appointment but its been a real struggle so far. Its amazing to me that I am having such a hard time finding help. I have been following some of the links and you are right the members information on this site has been so helpful.

@zinnia55 how was the biopsy done? Where was it located? Stitches?

@zinnia55 Look up the Mayo Clinic recommendations on Lichen Planus and ELP, OLP- They offer a number of recommendations. Other places like Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins, etc- The more informed you are the better your options when you do see someone in person.
Very best to you!
