I believe I have the samething. For many yrs. now I have been treated for chronic yeast infections. Was tested for sexually transmitted diseases but always clear. Never a answer why I'm getting so called yeast infections all the time? Gave me diflucan and treated it again.
I noticed a white scaring on my lower lip thinking maybe it's skin cancer and as soon as the doc looked at it said " no it looks like lichen planus".
Didn't seemed to concerned, sent me home said rinse with some antibiotics and that's about it. See if it helps...
I went home to do my own diligence on it and they think that even beta blockers, antidepressants might also be connected. Which I was on BOTH. So decided I want off of both...
I also noticed the spider webs they describe inside my mouth. A few yrs. into this I started getting some blisters I would call them on my tummy, thighs and when they erupt , I now have white spots where the pigment doesn't come back.
I'm married and sex became unbarable and notice blood and looks to be tears. I thought it was just getting older ( I'm 53) and prob even menopausal.
Well now I notice that my uretha looks like it has been torn or scaring maybe? So reading all of this and putting all the puzzle pieces together I think it's this and I haven't had a pap in 3 yrs. only disregarding it unless I felt I needed to go. But I have an apt. set to see the gyno this week to get it done & dissuss all with her....
But I also read that " oxalates" might be connected. It's in the foods and certain drinks. Mostly green leafy veggies, nuts, berries etc. I eat most on the list.
So I am trying to avoid most oxalates to see if it helps on the LP and helps any. If anyone suffers with it look into the beta blockers, antidepressants, and daily " Oxalates" in your food .
Hope this might help see if it can help anyone who suffers with Lichen Planus of any kind.
