Abstrakt: In our series, LPP occurred most frequently in elderly patients contrary to the Mendiratta et al. Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) is a rare variant of lichen planus (LP), which is characterized clinically by acquired macular hyperpigmentation, especially in sun-exposed areas or flexural folds and histologically by a band-like lichenoid infiltrate with pigment incontinence.[1] It commonly affects dark phototype people of South Asian origin and is rare in Caucasians. Brown to gray-blue asymmetric perifollicular hyperpigmentation was the most common dermoscopic finding of facial LPP. [Extracted from the article]
