Core Tip
Core Tip: Lichen planus (LP) with lesion distribution along the Blaschko’s lines can be differentiated from other skin lesions with linear distribution by dermoscopy and pathological biopsy. The isotopic response can occur in patients with LP, which may be an important cause for rapid spread of lesions and involvement of multiple segments. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are of great significance. Treatment strategy should be individualized based on the lesion characteristics and patient acceptance. Our patient showed considerable improvement of cutaneous lesions after 4-wk treatment with intramuscular glucocorticoid, oral acitretin, topical glucocorticoid and retinoids.
