Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) is a chronic and inflammatory skin disorder that is primarily characterized by abnormal lesions along with itching/irritation on skin, nails, hair, and mucous membranes. This condition can develop over several weeks and looks like itchy, purplish, raised bumps. Inside mouth, it appears as lacy white patches, sometimes in the form of painful sores while in the genitals it can form bright red, itchy areas. On nails it can result in their thinning and splitting, sometimes ridge formation and nail loss can also happen. Understanding LPP’s causes, signs, and available treatments is essential for effective management and the preservation of hair and scalp health.
