since i have both oral lichen planus and geographic tongue (two inflammatory conditions) I am worried that they will both work together to give me oral cancer.  most people with geographic tongue get lesions on the top part but i get them on the side of my tongue as well.  well my biggest OLP region is on the side of my tongue and i frequently get the GT sores right on top of it.  so the GT can flare up the OLP when the OLP is calm.  I am really worried about this.  i feel like there is nothing i can do to heal myself because the GT is so unpredictable and pops up constantly - any suggestions ?

      Hi, you have to careful when you by Manuka, comes from New Zealnd and the real stuff is quite expensive.  There's a lot cheaper stuff around but I don't think that' what you want.

      My wife has OLP and she has used Manuka but it didn't help her. It's delicious so you wont want to spit out.

      Buy a jar from Holland and Barrett it is quite expensive buy honestly worth trying ,swallow one spoon a day straight from the jar ,swish it round your mouth a bit before swallowing.. Obviously if you are allergic to bees then you cant have it ....
