    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Dermatopathology

    Background:

    • Lichen spinulosus is a follicular keratotic condition.
    • Treatment options for lichen spinulosus can be limited.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of lichen spinulosus were treated with Keralyt under occlusion.
    • Initial treatment involved two consecutive weeks of application.

    Findings:

    • Keralyt under occlusion demonstrated efficacy in clearing lichen spinulosus lesions within two weeks.
    • Maintenance therapy with twice-weekly Keralyt application was required to prevent recurrence.
    • A burning and stinging sensation was noted as an adverse effect immediately post-application.

    Implications:

    • Keralyt under occlusion presents a viable therapeutic option for lichen spinulosus.
