I have developed oral lichen planus on side of my tongue and both sides of cheek--have a feeling this was started when bit the side of my cheek and have had sharp tooth which has irritated my tongue--these have now been put right-- but mouth still affected by these lesions and my taste buds are badly affected--sharp items such as crisps or crispy chips or cereals do not help and make it more painful and hottish curries or such are no good either

Anyone else got these symptoms?

I would mention have also got ulcerative colitis which is under control but cannot eat a lot of fruit and certain vegetables!

So the answer is------????

Anyone got similar??

    I’ve had the irritations on my gums where I’ve had crown replacements. Almost a year now.

      my dentist has said I should have a tooth crowned--have turned it down certainly until get rid of sore mouth--there really must be something that works--trouble is if immune system involved then very difficult---steroids do not seem to improve it
