“…8 In adults there is an equal sex distribution. Some researchers have found an equal sex distribution in children 1,4 ; however, Kumar et al 2 observed more girls in his series, but boys predominated in the study of Sharma and Maheshwari. 3 Although LP is usually a sporadic disorder, there is also a familial form.…”

“…Koebner's phenomenon is considered to be common in children with LP, varying between 24 and 28% [7]. Initially linear LP was thought to be more common in children as compared to adults, but recent studies have shown results on the contrary [8][9][10]. Linear lichen planus has been observed in 8-30.4 % patients.…”

Introduction: Lichen planus is considered to be rare in children. However, it does not appear to be uncommon in Indian subcontinent. Aims: The study was undertaken to analyse the clinical profile of childhood lichen planus. Material and Methods:We selected 30 children with LP for the study. The children selected were below the age of 14 years of age. Results and Discussion: In our study, it was seen that that the maximum onset of disease was between 5-9 years of age and mean age of children with LP was 6.8 years. The commonest type of LP in children was classical LP seen in 60% children, followed by actinic LP in 20% children. LP hypertrophicus and linear LP were seen in 10% patients each. Nail changes were seen in 10% patients.

“…Most of the last studies on lichen planus in children have been undertaken in India. (2) The supposed rarity of childhood lichen planus could be due to the fact that its assosciations with auto-immune conditions, exposure to drugs & dental restorative materials, infective agents (HBV,HCV,HHV-7) & other environmental triggers that are uncommon in children. (1) Mean age of onset of lichen planus has been 7-8 years.…”

Lichen planus (LP) is a common papulosquamous disorder of auto-immune Etiology characterised by pruritic, polygonal, purple, papules which was first described by Erasmus Wilson in 1869. LP affects all age groups and both sexes equally. Most cases have been reported in adult population but a few case series were present among children. This prompted us to carry-out the present study. MATERIALS & METHODS:The present study was carried out for a period of 1year from April 2014 to April 2015 which includes a sample size of 20 patients (n=20), attended to the dermatology OPD, Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam. Present study was done in children of less than 12 years of age including both sexes. Routine investigations such as hemogram, liver function test, and renal function test & serological test have been done, detailed immunisation history has been recorded, detailed medical & family history as well as drug history has been recorded. RESULTS: in our study the most common age group was in between 5 and 10 years. Among sex distribution male children were predominantly affected. Regarding the distribution of lesions lower limbs followed by trunk were the common sites to be effected, the most common morphological variants observed in our study were classical type followed by hypertrophic variant. CONCLUSION: our study concluded that the common age group was between 5 and 10 years and the most common presentation was classical type effecting the male children predominantly.
