A member asked:
History of chronic oral lichen planus & peptic ulcers from h pylori starting in 2011. can lichen planus be in stomach & am i at high risk for cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Lichenpkanis is a nuisance illness that does not affect the type of epithelium in the stomach. Helicobactr, however, is both unpleasant and dangerous. Thankfully it's manageable. Best wishes.
