Section of Dermatology, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Foggia, Foggia, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Lichen striatus (LS) is a self-resolving skin condition primarily affecting children, characterized by a linear pattern and mainly seen in females, with an average patient age of 3.8 years.
- A review of 27 articles involving 440 patients suggests that LS may be linked to immune system dysregulation, where cytotoxic T-cells attack skin cells after losing immune tolerance.
- It is mostly diagnosed clinically based on its unique characteristics, with a typical duration of about 9.5 months, and treatment is rarely needed, highlighting the benign nature of the condition while also pointing out the need for more research in this area.
