chronic inflammatory condition affecting mouth's mucous membranes

Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the mucous membranes inside the mouth, leading to white, lacy patches, red swollen tissues, or open sores. It can cause discomfort, pain, and difficulty eating or speaking, and while the exact cause is unknown, it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system attacks the cells of the oral mucosa.
