Not to be used for advertising or in a defamatory context Dermatoscope image of hypertrophic lichen planus on the skin of a 33 year old African American male patient. Lichen planus is a common inflammatory disorder of the skin and mucous membranes characterised by purplish, itchy, flat-topped bumps. In the hypertrophic form of the disease the rash develops into scaly plaques. The cause is unknown. Treatment is with topical corticosteroids alongside antihistamines to reduce itching. Most cases of lichen planus disappear within two years.
