So what causes it?

I am trying to educate myself about LP. Some people have said that it never goes away… ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I don’t how to live with this. I am avoiding so many great things and activities because of what people may think of me… Which is crazy! Why did I have this at 18 or 19 and now again at 30? Ok, I’ve read about stress and LP… At 18… I had NO responsiblilites, what could I have possibly stressed about? Now, yes… my husband and I went through MANY years of trying to get pregnant and dealt with infertility issues and praise God we had a baby in January. And there have been many other stress factors in the past few years, dealth of my father in law, dealing with thyroid issues… blah blah blah! The ONLY thing that I can think of that happend then and happend now was that I had wisdom teeth removed at 18 and just had a tooth removed a few months ago… PLEASE… tell me about everything that you all have learned about LP… I would love learn as much as I can about this. Thank you and God bless you all!

Don’t avoid anything… People are probably not noticing your skin that much
and if they do… big deal!! Just tell them what you have, and that it
isn’t contagious and live your life!! I know it is a mess, but maybe we can get
enough ideas and encouragement from everyone to cope with this. We need to
dwell on happy things, like the BABY… congratulations!! I think you have
been through a lot and that is probably why it came back… the immune system
got stressed out. Take your vitamins, and exercise, and try to not dwell on
this unpleasant thing all the time. God bless you, too!!! It will be all
right. Sincerely, Judy

Ok I just read a bunch of stuff in medical online journals linked to this site regarding Lichen Planus!!!
How many people have this turn into cancer?
This scares me!
My tongue is broken out again and I’m in intense pain and now I read this?
Is there any treatment out there?
The only ones I saw were what I am already doing (topical) and oral swishing, and then they mention the drugs they use to suppress the immune system which is already suppressed!! AGHHHHHHHH!!!
Help!

Does anyone out there have Lychin Scerosis?
