  • Title: Erosive vulval lichen planus--a diagnosis not to be missed: a clinical review.
    Author: Lewis FM, Bogliatto F.
    Journal: Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol; 2013 Dec; 171(2):214-9. PubMed ID: 24183096.
    Abstract:
    Lichen planus is one of the inflammatory dermatoses that have a predilection for the genital mucosa, and the erosive type is particularly important. This can also affect other mucosal sites and scarring may occur, leading to significant symptoms and an effect on quality of life for patients. There is often a delay before the correct diagnosis is made and appropriate treatment instituted. This clinical review covers the clinical features and management options for this important disease and emphasises the need for a multi-disciplinary approach.
