Core Symptoms

A chronic inflammatory condition, oral lichen planus affects the mucous membranes in your mouth. White, lacy patches, red, swollen areas, or sores can appear on the inside of your cheeks, gums, or tongue.

Medication, or dental care can be a trigger. Sensitivity to spicy, or acidic foods is common, or a burning sensation without obvious cause.

Inflamed, or bleeding gums are a possibility. Your tongue could feel thicker, the condition may make speaking, or eating awkward, a significant hindrance to daily life.

There is no definitive generic cause for the condition. Oral lichen planus is not an infection, can not be passed from person to person and is not hereditary.

The symptoms can bring stress, depression, dietary deficiencies, weight loss, or increase the risk of oral cancer. Treatment is however available and should be tailored to your individual needs.
