I'm new to my OLP diagnosis. I want information! My first question is: Is the sensitivity systemic or contact?

I use a an oil in a pill form to help with my allergies. it contains Peppermint, Lavender and lemon oils. I know putting these right on my tongue would cause a long and painful reaction but would it still cause a reaction if taken in pill form. I have stopped all oils for a few weeks now due to my worsening symptoms, just in case. I guess I could just reintroduce it and see, but I would love some knowledge on how this stupid disorder works.
