Abstract:
Lichen striatus (LS) is a benign, self-limited, linear, inflammatory dermatosis of unknown etiology that usually affects children. We analyzed 89 cases in regard to age of appearance, sex, race, symptoms, seasonal incidence, localization of lesions and affected side of the body, and presence of atopy. Lesions predominated on the inferior limbs, with no preponderance of any age, and were asymptomatic in the majority of the instances. There was no difference in the incidence of LS in regard to the season of the year. A possible association of lichen sclerosus with atopy and pruritus was observed.
