Abstract
- Linear lichen planus (LLP) is a rare variant found in only 0.24~0.62% of all lichen planus patients. It is mostly located on the extremities and found more often in children than adults. It has been reported that LLP lesions usually occur in solitary strips, but they occasionally occur on different segments of skin or in multiple lines, which are zosteriform in distribution or follow the lines of Blaschko. LLP following Blaschko's line is extremely rare and, in most cases, the linear streaks are solitary. We present a case of multiple linear lichen planus along the lines of Blaschko in a 15-year-old female.
