Fuzz,

Your descriptions sounds pretty much like mine, except I was 53 at the time. What ticks me off is that the oral surgeon who dx'd the lichen planus never mentioned the possibility of SCCA. If he had, I would have been more aware of the changes. Oh, well. I'm almost 5 years out and living a wonderful life.

All the best to you!
Ken
