| Wilson's lichen | A primary disorder of the skin resulting in violaceous, polygonal, flat skin lesions that often pruritic (itchy). Seen commonly on the wrists, shins, lower back and genitalia. Involvement of the scalp may lead to hair loss. The cause of lichen planus is unknown, but may occur after the use of a drug (thiazide diuretics, phenothiazines, antimalarials). Treatment with topical corticosteroids is common. In most patients, spontaneous regression of the disease will be seen 6 months to 2 years after onset. (27 Sep 1997) |
| oral (erosive) lichen planus | Oral manifestations of lichen planus characterised by white striae (Wickham's striae) of the oral mucous membrane and sometimes associated with ulceration; patients may or may not exhibit a history of cutaneous lichen planus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lichen | A large group of symbiotic associations between fungi and green and occasionally blue green algae. Several genera of algae and of fungi are involved and the associations are so stable and of such varied but distinct types that the lichens have been classified into genera and species. A variety of incompatibility phenomena are often manifest between individual lichens. Confined to terrestrial habitats and often used as indicators of pollution status of the environment. (18 Nov 1997) |
| lichen acuminatus | A primary disorder of the skin resulting in violaceous, polygonal, flat skin lesions that often pruritic (itchy). Seen commonly on the wrists, shins, lower back and genitalia. Involvement of the scalp may lead to hair loss. The cause of lichen planus is unknown, but may occur after the use of a drug (thiazide diuretics, phenothiazines, antimalarials). Treatment with topical corticosteroids is common. In most patients, spontaneous regression of the disease will be seen 6 months to 2 years after onset. (27 Sep 1997) |

| lichen myxoedematosus | A lichenoid eruption of papules or plaques of mucinous oedema due to deposit of glycosaminoglycans in the skin and fibroblast proliferation, in the absence of endocrine disease. See: scleromyxoedema. Synonym: papular mucinosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lichen nitidus | A chronic inflammatory disease characterised by shiny, flat-topped, usually flesh-coloured micropapules no larger than the head of a pin.
