A case of erosive lichen planus with plantar involvement

“…Moreover, high level of stress after menopause in women may contribute to development of the disease. Plantar involvement in ELP starts with painful, erythematous and bullous lesions on the calcaneus bone 2,12 that were also present in our case. Lesions have a tendency to spread to the plantar side and the nails 2,9,12 .…”

Treatment modalities of palmoplantar lichen planus: a brief review

“…There are many other chemical and herbal drugs such as Aloe Vera, green tea [32, 33], sulfasalazine, metronidazole [18], mycophenolate mofetil [34], griseofulvin, thalidomide and therapeutic modalities such as PUVA and bath PUVA [35], excimer laser [36], UVA1 radiation and extracorporeal phototherapy used in the treatment of LP or generalized LP [18] or other palmoplantar dermatoses but just the above-mentioned drugs have been used in the treatment of palmoplantar LP. As mentioned before palmoplantar LP is a rare variety of LP, that is why we could not find any clinical trial and just case reports have been described in this manuscript.…”

“…In spite of plentiful investigations carried out on LP, there is no treatment modality that has proved to be utterly satisfactory in treatment of palmoplantar LP [8]. Many drugs have been used in the treatment of LP and generalized LP [18] but just a few case reports and drugs have been described in the treatment of palmoplantar LP. In this review article we have gone over about 24 articles and discuss all treatment modalities proposed and tested for palmoplantar LP in the literature but because palmoplantar LP is a rare entity we could not find any trial on this subject and just case reports have been found.…”

“…Palmoplantar LP can pose a diagnostic problem to the clinician as it resembles many dermatoses, such as psoriasis, punctate porokeratosis, lichen nitidus, punctate palmoplantar keratoderma, reactive perforating collagenosis, syphilis, arsenical keratoses, porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus, perforating granuloma anulare and Bazex’s syndrome [2, 15–18]. In spite of plentiful investigations carried out on LP, there is no treatment modality that has proved to be utterly satisfactory in treatment of palmoplantar LP [8].…”
