Description
Summary:Linear lichen planus pigmentosus is a rare subtype of lichen planus pigmentosus that follows Blaschko’s lines, leaving long-standing residual atrophy and pigmentation, especially in dark-skinned populations. Conventional treatments have several limitations regarding the alleviation of pigmentation and atrophy. We report two cases of Korean women with linear lichen planus pigmentosus on their faces who were successfully treated with fractional lasers and intralesional injection of polydeoxyribonucleotide.
