As lesións amplas en ambas as canelas son atípicas. Neste caso, outras enfermidades alérxicas crónicas (lichen simplex chronicus) adoitan ser máis sospeitosas.

Lichen planus (LP) é unha condición inflamatoria de longa duración que afecta principalmente aos adultos nos seus anos medios. Pode aparecer na pel ou nas mucosas como a boca, a vaxina, o esófago, a caixa de voz e o revestimento dos ollos. LP vén en diferentes formas dependendo de como se vexan as erupcións e onde aparecen. Os estudos suxiren que certos tipos de LP, como os que afectan ao esófago ou aos ollos, poden non ser diagnosticados o suficiente. Algunhas formas de LP, como os tipos hipertróficos e erosivos na boca, poden ser particularmente gravosas e durar moito tempo. Outros factores como os medicamentos ou o contacto con certas substancias poden provocar erupcións cutáneas de aspecto similar.
Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that most often affects middle-aged adults. LP can involve the skin or mucous membranes including the oral, vulvovaginal, esophageal, laryngeal, and conjunctival mucosa. It has different variants based on the morphology of the lesions and the site of involvement. The literature suggests that certain presentations of the disease such as esophageal or ophthalmological involvement are underdiagnosed. The burden of the disease is higher in some variants including hypertrophic LP and erosive oral LP, which may have a more chronic pattern. LP can significantly affect the quality of life of patients as well. Drugs or contact allergens can cause lichenoid reactions as the main differential diagnosis of LP.

Lichen planus é unha afección da pel marcada por protuberancias e manchas de cor púrpura e plana que poden causar coceira intensa. Estas lesións cutáneas poden ser angustiosas, especialmente cando afectan gravemente á boca ou aos xenitais. En casos graves, oral lichen planus pode incluso aumentar o risco de desenvolver un tipo de cancro de pel. Tamén pode afectar o coiro cabeludo e as uñas. Aínda que se descoñece a causa da maioría dos casos, algúns poden ser provocados por certos medicamentos ou a infección por hepatite C. O tratamento normalmente implica cremas fortes para casos localizados e esteroides orais para os máis estendidos.
Lichen planus is a skin condition marked by purplish, flat-topped bumps and patches that can cause intense itching. These skin lesions can be distressing, especially when they affect the mouth or genitals severely. In severe cases, oral lichen planus may even increase the risk of developing a type of skin cancer. It can also affect the scalp and nails. While the cause of most cases is unknown, some may be triggered by certain medications or hepatitis C infection. Treatment typically involves strong creams for localized cases and oral steroids for more widespread ones.

Lichen planus é unha afección na que o sistema inmunitario causa inflamación, o que provoca marcas distintivas na pel e nas mucosas. Afecta a un 5% dos adultos, con máis frecuencia ás mulleres, e normalmente comeza arredor da idade media. A afectación oral apréciase ata o 77% dos casos, afectando principalmente a meixela interna. Aínda que algunhas persoas poden non sentir ningún síntoma, outras poden experimentar dor e ter problemas con certos alimentos (por exemplo, ácidos, picantes) ou pasta de dentes.
Lichen planus is an immune-mediated inflammatory condition leading to characteristic lesions on skin and mucous membranes. It presents in up to 5% of the general adult population with a female predilection (2:1); the onset is most commonly in middle age. Up to 77% of patients with lichen planus have oral disease, with buccal mucosa the most common subsite. The oral lesions may be asymptomatic, although a subset of patients have pain and difficulty tolerating certain foods (e.g., acidic, spicy) and toothpaste.

Para confirmar o diagnóstico de liquen plano cutáneo, pódese facer unha biopsia cutánea. A inmunofluorescencia directa (DIF) pode ser útil en pacientes con lesións bullosas para diferenciar a condición dunha enfermidade vesiculobulosa autoinmune.
