A member asked:
Please let me know what is the connection between oral lichen planus and stiff palpable lymph nodes in neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflamation: Lichen planis is an autoimmune disorder which manifests in inflammatory responses. Your body will react to inflammation by trying to clean up the fluids and cells through your lymph system. The ones in your neck are the pathway, thus stiff nodes. Baylor university has a great clinic and support group that can help you understand this problem. Or see your dentist or dermatologist.
