Erosive lichen planus: an unmet disease burden
ELP takes longer to diagnose, requires prolonged tertiary care and is more resistant to treatment, when compared across multiple ethnicities. These patients have increased medical and oral health needs and are at greater risk of scarring than the reticular form. A greater education amongst primary carers on its presentation, as well as a greater understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving ELP are required to improve diagnostics and identify novel therapeutic approaches.
