“…The Medline search provided a total of 53 papers focusing on risk factors. Only 5 were formal epidemiological case-control studies, and only 1 large-scale case-control study involving 711 incident cases of lichen planus and 1,395 dermatological controls provided information on drug use [12]. In spite of the fact that selected drugs are considered as triggers for lichen planus, no association with drug use was documented in such a study.…”

In spite of the common use of the diagnostic category of lichen-planus-like contact dermatitis, we were unable to find established criteria for such a condition. An atypical distribution of otherwise typical lichen planus lesions is usually considered as a feature of a lichenoid eruption. When facing unusual or unexpected clinical features, it is always advisable to consider an adverse reaction to a medical intervention as a potential option. We report a lichen-planus-like eruption occurring after contact with a topical agent containing chlorpheniramine maleate. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of lichen-planus-like contact dermatitis associated with chlorpheniramine maleate.
