Hello @jp53,

My sincere apologies for the delay in replying, but I'd like to extend a warm welcome to Connect, and thank you for joining the community. You may notice that I moved your post and combined it with this existing discussion on Lichen Planus (LP) I did this because I thought it would be beneficial for you to be introduced to the many members who have discussed much of what you are experiencing.
If you are replying by email, I suggest clicking on VIEW & REPLY so that you can read through some of the earlier messages and meet some of our other members talking about their or their or their loved ones' experiences.

I'm also tagging @jshdma Mentor @alpaca @cmtg @skaryna @riverqueen1305, and Mentor @alpaca, as they may also be able to share more insights about their experiences with LP.

Here is some information from Mayo Clinic about oral LP: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/oral-lichen-planus/symptoms-causes/syc-20350869

@jp53, can you tell us a bit more about your experience with lichen planus — if you’re comfortable doing so of course? How did you get diagnosed?
