Lichen Planus – Information on Lichen Planus written by Corwin Brown
Lichen planus (LP) is a pruritic, papular eruption characterized by its violaceous color; polygonal shape; and, sometimes, fine scale. It is most commonly found on the flexor surfaces of the upper extremities, on the genitalia, and on the mucous membranes. LP is most likely an immunologically mediated reaction. See Oral Lichen Planus for more information on this variant of LP.
