This case study reports an unusual presentation of erosive lichen planus of the scalp linked to hepatitis C in a patient, highlighting challenges in establishing a definitive correlation between the two conditions.

In this study, researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of 16 cases of erosive palmoplantar lichen planus in North East India, finding a higher prevalence in pediatric and male patients, with common clinical features including plantar involvement and histopathological indicators such as basal cell degeneration.

The researchers reported that low-dose methotrexate, in combination with surgical dilatation and local treatments, may improve symptoms in patients with severe stenosing vulvovaginal lichen planus.

Lichen Planus is a less common condition affecting skin and mucous membranes, with various types and associated risk factors, challenging to diagnose, significantly impacts life quality, and may have a risk of cancerous changes in oral lesions.

This article describes the various presentations of oral lichen planus and notes it often requires topical or systemic immunosuppressive treatment for associated discomfort, but it reports no new clinical results.
