Lichenoid mucositis: Unfortunately, without more history and physical exam and knowing the location of your lesion it is impossible to move on. Did you ask the same questions the doc who gave you the diagnosis? You may need to see a dermatologist if you've not done so.

Steroids: This is your immune system acting out. Topical steroids or orally taken systemic steroids are your best weapon during flare ups. If you can identify any triggers you should avoid them.

Magic mouthwash: There are some prescription mouthwashes which can greatly relieve the discomfort. They may contain lidocaine or benadryl, (diphenhydramine) kaopectate or maalox, and a corticosteroid. Sysyemic steroids may also be prescribed.
