AI Article Synopsis
- A study examined 30 patients under 18 diagnosed with lichen striatus, revealing a higher prevalence in females (70%) compared to males (30%), with an average diagnosis age of 5.38 years.
- The most affected age group was children aged 0-4 years, and the average duration of the condition was about 6.66 months.
- While lichen striatus is generally a harmless and temporary skin condition, more extensive long-term research is needed to explore its causes and connection to atopy, which was present in 30% of the patients.
Article Abstract
We analyzed records of 30 patients with lichen striatus (age < 18 years) in this retrospective study. Seventy percent were females and 30% were males with a mean age of diagnosis of 5.38 ± 4.22 years. The most common age group affected was 0-4 years. The mean duration of lichen striatus was 6.66 ± 4.22 months. Atopy was present in 9 (30%) patients. Although LS is a benign self-limited dermatosis, long-term prospective studies with a greater number of patients will help in better understanding of the disease including its etiopathogenesis and association with atopy.
