Abstract
- A 31-year-old woman presented with 2 year history of multiple, pinhead-sized erythematous papules, which had become coalescent in linear arrangement from the forehead to the left nasal ala. Histopathologically, the lesion showed hyperkeratosis, spongiosis and inflammatory cell infiltration around the skin appendages, and was therefore diagnosed as facial lichen striatus. The patient had been treated with an intermittent topical steroid application for about two years, but this had not been effective. However, application of 0.03% tacrolimus ointment showed dramatic improvement.
