Abstract:
Lichen striatus usually occurs in a solitary and unilateral fashion. Its multiple and bilateral distribution is a very rare finding. We report two cases of multiple lichen striatus. The first case is a 3 year-old boy, whose skin lesions were distributed bilaterally on both upper arms and buttock. The second case is a 6 year-old girl whose skin lesions were two separated linear lesions from left chest and left upper back to left arm.
