Sorry to hear that. Lichen planus can have oral manifestation similar to the symptoms that you have just described. However a clinical examination and a biopsy is recommended prior to prescribing any medication. Please ask your dermatologist who is treating you for lichen planus or consult a specialist in oral medicine to plan your treatment.
