Hi @lindaadel. Where to start... I suffered with OLP for several years until I was finally referred to a dental teaching facility and was diagnosed. At that time I was told "no known cause--no known cure." Was recommended different rinses which burned so badly that I could not use. Toothpaste always contained mint or something that burned. I finally began using baking soda and diluted hydrogen peroxide. Years later it exhibited in my vagina. Then I began getting places on arms, legs, face that developed into squamous cell cancer. (The doctors say there is no correlation but I'm not convinced. I go again this Wednesday for Mohs surgery # ?? I'm 78 and looks like this is my lot in life from now on. Wishing/praying there will be some research that can come up with something to help. One thing I'll throw out there. I've been going to the dentist every 4 months for 4-5 years, then in March this year I lost 3 natural teeth and two bridges. So, a total of 5 teeth in one week. They just broke off. No warning. Now, I had the two original covid vaccines in 2021, got covid in Sept. 2022 and was an inpatient for 8 days. Makes me wonder. I did get dental surgery and after 3 months got a partial. My gums look like pure blood they are so red. Thankfully the pain has gotten better but my concern is with such inflammation, what can it lead to? I'm sure I left something out but hope this experience will help some. Blessing. Faye
