You need to get in touch with a qualified oral medicine specialist preferably in a reputed govt.institute in your vicinity.
This is plaque type lichen planus. But to my surprise none of the medicines you are taking include the ones you should be taking for lichen planus. You need topical and systemic steroids for this under supervision of a clinician.
This will cure. Don’t worry. But search for a well qualified and experienced Oral Medicine expert.
