Abstract

Lichen planus is an idiopathic inflammatory dermatological condition affecting skin and mucosa. Certain variants of lichen planus may present a difficulty in diagnosis especially when the lesions are arranged in linear or blaschkoid  pattern. Correct diagnosis and treatment of this condition are necessary to prevent any undue investigation and for cosmetic appearance.  We herein report case series of 3 patients with unilateral blaschkoid lichen planus.
