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 of5.38 ± 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.
