扁平苔藓= oral lichen planus.
不知你为母亲买了医疗保险了没?
先看一般的家庭医生,检查后也许不用看专科或家庭医生会建议:“oral lichen planus” requires coordinated treatment by dermatologists, dentist-stomatologists and ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists。(我在医院里常见医生order "ENT consultation",仅供参考)。医生会问很多问题---病史、药物食品过敏史、口腔感染史(thrush) 、现在使用的药(糖尿病、高血压等)或有无hepatitis C 感染史...

医生可能会做如下Tests:
Doctors use several tests to determine the cause of symptoms.

Complete Blood Cell Count (CBC)
This common test provides a count of each blood cell type in a given volume of the blood. It measures the amount of hemoglobin, the percentage of blood that's composed of red blood cells, the number and kinds of white blood cells and the number of platelets.

Blood Tests
Blood tests are used to rule out hepatitis C (which can sometimes produce lichen planus) or lupus erythematosis and other look-alike diseases which cause mouth sores, skin rashes, and white spots.

Cultures
Yeast growth is common with OLP. Doctors may use yeast cultures.

Allergy Tests
Skin patch testing determines allergic reactions to certain foods, additives or sometimes substances in dentures or amalgams.

Biopsy
The physician removes a small sample of tissue from the affected area for examination under a microscope.
