족척에 발생한 편평태선 증례보고 1례

Lichen planus is a unique inflammatory cutaneous and mucous membrane reaction pattern of unknown etiology. Lichen planus of the soles generally occurs as an isolated phenomenon. The lesions differ from classic lesions of lichen planus in that the papules are larger and aggregate into semitransluecent plaques with a globular waxy surface. We report a 38-year-old female patient with lichen planus of right sole. The lesion shows erythematous eroded patch, swelling and severe pain. We thought that she might have envolved erysipelas. So, we gave her oriental medicine and antibiotics, so she was improved. But after long walking, lesion began to getting worse. There appeared oozing, ulcer, pus, pain and swelling in her lesion. We gave her oriental medicine and wet dressinf. But it didn't work.
