Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the skin and mucous membranes. The etiology is not exactly known but genetic, immunological, and environmental factors have been implicated (1). Psychosomatic factors have also been associated with disease onset and progression; in addition, there is increasing data in the literature supporting a neurophysiological pathogenesis of the disease (2,3).
