Abstract
Lichen planus is an auto-inflammatory skin disorder marked by intensely pruritic, violaceous papules that commonly affect the extremities of middle-aged adults.1 There are several treatment options available, but alternative therapies to target disease refractory to standard interventions remain necessary. Though they have not been FDA-approved for lichen planus, Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors have demonstrated significant potential as a therapeutic intervention across an array of dermatoses. Herein, we present a case of refractory, biopsy-proven lichen planus successfully treated with the oral JAK1 inhibitor, upadacitinib. J Drugs Dermatol. 2023;22(10):1058-1060 doi:10.36849/JDD.7272.
