@hlab27 Can you tell me what is meant by OLP as 1 symptom of "body-wide involvement."? I have had OLP for years, seen numerous docs, and all say that OLP is an isolated problem. I never heard or read that it was related to any other physical problem. Thanks.

It can also manifest as rashes or red bumps, sometimes itchy, sometimes not, often on arms, wrists, legs, or ankles. If you are prone to autoimmune conditions, it can be just another one of the big mix. Here's a Mayo link, but there are many others. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lichen-planus/symptoms-causes/syc-20351378
