Hi,

I have had OLP (erosive) for approx 2 yrs

in the past 2 yrs I have round out I also have autoimmune hypothyroidism (Hashimotos)

I find the oral lesions happen in conjunction to my flares, which makes sense being autoimmune in nature.

My question is to those with OLP, do you have any other autoimmune disorders ?

If so, what are they?

There are no real answers as to what else will pop up when you have an autoimmune disease, just band aids

(corticosteroid gel for the mouth, pills for the thyroid)

just trying to do my own research

thanks in advance

    yes i have alopecia areata. i have had it for over 10 yrs, a little confidence my hair will grow back. my biopsies were kinda inconclusive, they did suggest Lp and my symptoms are erosive mainly on the gums at the tooth level. i also have the raised white lines on my cheeks lower level and they run along the area where the cheeks meet the lower teeth. im curious what others experience as far as symptoms go.
