The results of my biopsies came back today, "inflammation".
"Make a follow up appointment in 2 weeks".
My appt. is 7/1.

I had a snip biopsy of each inner cheek, but not tongue, by my "2nd opinion" doctor who has known me for 20+ years, and was part of my lupus diagnosis. She said, "it lookes like a classic case of lupus/oral lichens planus overlay syndrome", before the biopsies.

The first doctor diagnosed me with oral lichens planus in left cheek, and tongue, and oral leukoplakia in right cheek, without doing a biopsy.

My dad visited with me on Fathers Day, I showed him what my mouth looks like, he was surprised. I haven't talked right in months, my tongue is too big for my mouth and all down the left side are white patches that burn and hurt, especially when I talk and it rubs against my teeth. We're both on maintenance doses of prednisone, which helps my dad to eat, he's up to 151# after his surgeries.
We are both concluding that this has something to do with our immune systems or genetics.
My dad was not tested for HPV, nor was I, they didn't know how.

Has anyone heard "inflammation" as the result of biopsy?

Is anyone else seeing this run in families?
