Clinical, Dermoscopic, and Histopathological Analysis of Blaschko-Linear Atrophic Lichen Planopilaris (LPP) of the Face: A Case Series of a Rare Entity

A BSTRACT Blaschko-linear pigmented lesions over the face are encountered rarely, and may either be macular or atrophic. A descriptive clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological analysis of six such cases of hyperpigmented atrophic lesions in a Blaschko-linear distribution that we saw recently in our outpatient department is presented emphasizing the potential of dermoscopy to facilitate prompt management thereby averting cicatrization.
