Multiple Lichen Striatus in an Adult / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Lichen striatus is an uncommon, self-limiting dermatosis that is characterized by linearly distributed eruptions that follow Blaschko's lines. It usually occurs unilaterally, but few cases of bilateral or multilinear eruptions have also been reported. In addition, lichenstriatus is commonly seen in children and rarely affects adults. We report a case of 29-year-old woman with multiple, unilateral lichen striatus on the right abdomen and right chest that was treated successfully with topical tacrolimus.
