  • Title: Lichen planus actinicus.
    Author: Meads SB, Kunishige J, Ramos-Caro FA, Hassanein AM.
    Journal: Cutis; 2003 Nov; 72(5):377-81. PubMed ID: 14655778.
    Abstract:
    Lichen planus actinicus is a photodistributed variant of lichen planus that most often occurs in individuals with dark complexions. Sunlight seems to be a triggering factor in most cases. Several clinical morphologic patterns have been described, and multiple therapies with variable results have been used. The lesions in some patients may remit spontaneously with sun avoidance.
