ABSTRACT
The rarity of generalized lichen planus (LP) in children often leads to misdiagnosis or delayed treatment, impacting the patient’s quality of life. We describe the utility of a punch biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of LP in a 7-year-old girl. The inclusion of an intramuscular corticosteroid injection in the treatment plan offered prompt symptom relief.
