Lichen planus is a chronic papulosquamous disorder. It presents as multiple small flat-topped, polygonal, violaceous papules over the volar aspects of wrists and ankles. Itching is a prominent complaint. Many patients have net-like whitish patches on the buccal mucosa opposite the molars. No treatment is needed other than symptomatic in most cases. ................
