<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a lymphocytic primary cicatricial alopecia typically involving the frontotemporal hairline. It may be associated with the presence of facial papules (FP) that clinically appear as noninflammatory, monomorphic, white-yellowish papules. Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPPigm) is characterized by the presence of asymptomatic grayish pigmented macules, predominantly in sun-exposed and flexural areas. <b><i>Case Report:</i></b> A 58-year-old, Caucasian, phototype III woman presented with a symmetrical, band-like, frontotemporal alopecia with regression of the hairline; bilateral eyebrow loss; diffuse, symmetrical hyperpigmentation of the face; and some asymptomatic, flesh-colored, monomorphic papules on the chin. Based on clinical, dermoscopic, and histological findings, the diagnosis of FFA associated with FP and LPPigm was established. <b><i>Discussion/Conclusion:</i></b> The peculiarity of our report is represented by the triple association of FFA, FP, and LPPigm in a Caucasian skin type III woman, as it has been rarely reported. Clinicians should be aware of this association also in subjects with phototype ≤III, as its recognition may be useful for diagnostic and prognostic purposes: the observation of LPPigm of the face may suggest to check for early FFA, and in case of FFA associated with FP, a poorer FFA prognosis may likely be expected.

Blaschko’S Lines

Background: Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is believed to be a follicular variant of lichen planus that affects pilosebaceous units, mainly of the scalp. An extremely rare variant of LPP is a linear form, which follows the lines of Blaschko. Of the five previously documented cases of linear LPP, all were limited to the face. Objective: We report the case of a 34-year-old male who presented with a nonpruritic eruption on the trunk consisting of erythematous, keratotic, folliculocentric papules following Blaschko's lines. Results: Biopsy revealed lichenoid and interface dermatitis involving the basilar epidermis and hair follicles, as well as apoptotic keratinocytes, consistent with LPP. Conclusion: This represents the first documented case of LPP, following the Blaschko's lines, in a nonfacial distribution.

Lichenoid Eruption

Trimebutine is a spasmolytic agent with antimuscarinic effects that is used for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and lower gastrointestinal tract motility disorders. Lichenoid drug eruptions (LDE) to trimebutine maleate have not been previously reported. Here we present the case of a 50-year-old male patient who developed an extensive lichenoid eruption on his upper and lower extremities and trunk 4 weeks after starting treatment with trimebutine maleate 300 mg once daily for IBS. Two months after discontinuation of the drug and administration of topical treatment with emollients and corticosteroids, the LDE cleared completely with no recurrence. The diagnosis of LDE due to trimebutine was made, based upon the clinical features resembling lichen planus, the histological findings of interface dermatitis, the evidence of a temporal relationship between drug intake and the development of skin lesions, and resolution upon discontinuation of the drug. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, LDE following trimebutine maleate intake has not been previously reported. Management of trimebutine-induced LDE includes withdrawal of the causative agent and treatment with potent topical corticosteroids.

Background and Objective: Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) is an uncommon variant of lichen planus (LP) that manifests as macular hyperpigmentation involving chiefly the face and upper limbs. Although its etiology has not been fully elucidated, a relationship with hepatitis C infection, restrictive underwear, localized friction, and sun exposure have been proposed. Rarely, exposure to mustard oil, amla oil, henna, or hair dyes has been reported. Conclusion: We herein describe an LPP-like reaction to Guasha.
