Background:

  • Lichen striatus is a benign inflammatory dermatosis.
  • Its etiology remains unknown, but lesions follow Blaschko's lines.
  • The condition is typically self-limiting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical features of lichen striatus in children.
  • To analyze age distribution and seasonal onset patterns.
  • To investigate potential environmental factors in its etiology.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis.
  • Inclusion of 61 pediatric patients diagnosed with lichen striatus.
  • Documentation of clinical presentation, age, and onset season.

Main Results:

  • The majority of cases were observed in preschool-aged children.
  • A notable number of cases presented during spring and summer.
  • Lesion distribution followed Blaschko's lines consistently.

Conclusions:

  • Preschool age is a common demographic for lichen striatus.
  • Seasonal patterns suggest a possible role for environmental factors.
  • Infectious agents may contribute to the development of lichen striatus.
