Can I Perform Oral Sex By Having Oral Lichen Planus?

Hello, I'm 18 I think I may POSSIBLY have Oral Lichen Planus. I have sores in my mouth and white 'lines' across the inside of my cheek. Can I still perform oral sex on my boyfriend if I do or will he get it on his genitals? Will this spread to my vagina and skin? I really don't want this to spread to the rest of my body.

Hello!Thank you for posting here.

Lichenplanus is autoimmune disease and it does not spread from person to person.But, you may have them already on other parts of your body or may develop further.This does not spread through contact from mouth.
Lichenplanus normally has burning sensation and pain.So, i suggest you not to perform mouth contact as this may aggravate your symptoms.

Hope this helps.
