What causes lichen planus?

In most cases, the cause of lichen planus is unknown.

Some drugs, such as those containing arsenic, bismuth, or gold can cause a reaction that is indistinguishable from the rash of lichen planus. Exposure to certain chemicals used in the development of color photographs can also produce a similar rash. The long-term use of the drugs quinacrine or quinidine (used for malaria, certain microscopic organisms, and worms) may produce hypertrophic lichen planus of the lower legs and other skin and body- wide (systemic) disturbances. Other unusual causes of lichen planus include liver disease and what is called graft-versus-host disease in people who have received a transplant.

What is the treatment for lichen planus?

Most cases of lichen planus are relatively mild. Affected individuals who do not have symptoms do not need treatment.
