Зображення 00078. Lichen planus on the glans penis

Lichen planus is not very uncommon on the glans penis. Reddish-bluish multiangular shallow papules or plaques are diagnostic. Usually the patient also has lichen on other sites of the skin. Topical potent corticosteroids can be used even on this location for 2–3 weeks. They usually lead to cure or at least to temporary relief.
