My dentist sent me for a biopsy, but the Dental Hospital said not needed as it is obvious what I have?
My doctor says a biopsy is not necessary. She is positive I have Oral Lichen Planus. Thoughts?

I'm not a doctor but if you do not have areas of your mouth that suggest EROSIVE oral lichen planus, then a biopsy probably isn't necessary. With the erosive type, you would have very sore, ulcer-like lesions. Good luck!
