What Is Lichen Planus?
3. Skin Bumps
As mentioned, lichen planus will cause bumps to appear on the skin. These bumps will typically appear on the wrist, ankle, or inner forearm. They will also sometimes appear on the patient’s genitals. When the mucous membranes are affected, it will often cause white patches on the tongue, lips, and other tissues in the mouth.
In addition to these white patches, which will have a lacy appearance, there will be sores in the patient’s mouth. These sores will also sometimes be present in the vagina. The severity of these symptoms will vary from patient to patient, and they will cause considerable distress in some cases.
