These include inflammatory conditions (lichen planus, pemphigus, pemphigoid), infectious diseases (such as candidiasis and herpes virus infections), certain oral pain conditions (such as burning mouth syndrome) and the oral complications of graft-versus-host disease, which may develop following a stem cell transplant.
