Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor,first I would like to mention that, you have mentioned your problem very haphazardly(please don't get offended). Secondly, visit the dentist bassoon as possible. If the condition was lichen plans and biopsy had been done, then probably the reaction can be because of extra tissue pulled from the area, which had caused some ill feeling. Lichen plans can be due to viral cause or by genetic effect as well.chlorohexidine is helpful undoubtedly, do it for 2 times and for 10 days only if the condition subsides. Take the help of ENT specialist for sure. Rest please define the problem sequentially, and then we will see. Thanks
