I was just diagnosed about two months ago with Oral Lichen Planus. When my oral surgeon first looked at the spot I have, it had a lacy pattern to it. Now it is a solid spot and is sore. Also this spot is on the underside of my tongue in the back. I am a former smoker, and have read that the chances of this turning to cancer are higher because of being a smoker. I know stress has a huge part in me having this condition also.
As of right now, the spot on the back of my tongue is sore, but not open, just tender to the touch. I have a patch of lichen Planus on the inside of my cheek and inside my bottom lip. My throat also hurts. Just looking for help about the course of action I should take. This is all new to me. I had my wisdom teeth out last month and the dentist didn't feel a biopsy was necessary at the time. Please help. I am worried about this turning into cancer eventually. Trying to keep that from happening.
