Abstract

Lichen striatus (LS) is a self-resolving condition, which may occasionally need treatment for significant pruritus, a persistent course or cosmetic problems. The options for treatment have usually been topical or intralesional corticosteroids, salicylic acid, coal tar, or more recently, topical tacrolimus and pimecrolimus.
We report a case of LS successfully treated with pimecrolimus in a 15-year-old girl.

Keywords: Lichen striatus, Pimecrolimus
