@jshdma. I've been to three dermatologist who use the generic statement regarding LP, "we don't know what causes it and there is no treatment." It's hard to accept that when we suffer. Just this past week I had another Mohs surgery. This one was on my right leg. I've had OLP plus numerous squamous cancers requiring Mohs on both legs and both arms. Since this surgery was with a new dermatology doc I again asked my standard question, "Is there and connection between LP and squamous cancer?" This doc said, yes, generally. Boy did he have my attention. He talked about medicines called Jak inhibitors. He said it is usually used to treat rheumatoid arthritis but he has used it to treat LP "with good results." I will be doing research this week and then contacting my dermatologist locally to see if it is something I can try. Hoping this information can help others. Blessings.

@fdixon63 Another answer you get from docs regarding OLP is that "I doesn't look that bad." In fact it IS that bad, regardless of what they say. BTW. in my case, the vaccine made OLP much, much worse. This stands to reason, because the VAX works (or not) by ramping up the immune system. OLP is an immune response. No one with OLP should get near that VAX. About squamous cell cancer, I think that refers to the fact that OLP can turn to cancer (in the mouth). Fortunately this is rare.
