AB  - KEY  POINTSLichen  planus  is  an  inflammatory  disorder  that  varies  in  clinical  presentation  across  skin  colors  and  also  has  numerous  unique  variants  some  of  which  are  more  common  in  darker  skin  populations.Classic  lichen  planus  morphology  in  all  skin  colors  tends  to  be  flat,  polygonal  papules  and  plaques.  However,  the  color  varies  and  tends  to  be  pink  to  red  in  lighter  skin  in  contrast  to  the  classic  presentation  in  darker  skin,  which  is  typically  purple  to  violaceous  or  brown  to  gray.Variants  of  lichen  planus  that  can  be  seen  more  commonly  in  darker  skin  colors  include  annular,  actinic,  and  follicular  lichen  planus.Lichen  planus  can  also  resolve  with  significant  postinflammatory  pigment  alteration,  particularly  in  those  with  darker  skin.
