This pigmentation is normal and its looking as if it is due to cheek bite. Lichen planus generally happens in older females or those who are having stress . lichen planus have burning sensation .Try to maintain the 3rd molar area its looking like some swelling is there.

Looks like cheek bite. Visit your dentist to reduce the sharp edges of the teeth causing this. Don't worry.
