OUr papa is now diagnosed with OLP (oral lichen planus) and oral tongue cancer and is in new delhi and I am here in michigan usa trying to find a good team of docs for him. I have seen other people with lichen planus symtoms in their fingernails in india and i bet this is a pre-existing condition that also contributes t the high incidents of oral cancer because it is also in oral form most of the time too. i have sent you a PM to please respond with any help about getting some good docs for papa. since he has lichen planus we have also though seeing a dermatologist with olp specialty would be good but he has his surgery this coming week so time is of the essence.
