Hello,
You are suffering from oral lichen planus.Its cause is known and is thought to be due to autoimmune proces.
Very frankly speaking it has no known cure but various treatments are offered which kep it under control.
As compared to cutaneous lichen planus,oral cutaneous planus is difficult to treat sometime and oral ulcers and lesions may persist for many years.
Thanks
