description | Lichen planus is a T-cell mediated autoimmune disorder affecting the skin and mucous membranes. Ulcerating lichen planus is uncommon mostly on oral and genital mucosa but not skin. Lichen planopilaris, however, is a subtype of lichen planus affection hair follicles and leading to permanent scarring alopecia.
