Abstract
- Lichen planus and vitiligo are common skin disorders, which rarely coexist. We report a case of colocalization of lichen planus and vitiligo in a 42-year-old woman. Furthermore, herein, we discuss the possible mechanism of colocalization of lichen planus and vitiligo, including the role of actinic damage in the initiation of lymphocytic infiltrates of lichen planus in vitiliginous skin.
