the most common type is lichen planus. its a reaction mediated by your own immune system, much like an eczema. the cause is unknown and can be viral or medicatin induced. it will usually go away on its own after less than a year.
in the meantime we treat it to go away sooner with antihistamines and steroid creams.

GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER!
