Brief Summary   Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease that can have both cutaneous and oral involvement affecting the skin, the tongue, and the oral mucosa. Lichen planus is most commonly found on the flexor surfaces of the upper extremities, on the genitalia, the nails, and the scalp and on the mucous membranes.  At present there is no permanent cure for lichen planus. When it involves multiple mucosal surfaces, it becomes more resistant to treatment. Even with the effective treatments, relapses are common. Moreover, patients are unable to tolerate a treatment because of its adverse effects.  According to a survey mailed to 40 patients with symptomatic oral lichen planus treated with topical tacrolimus, most patients experienced symptomatic improvement in less than 1 month. Topical tacrolimus has been reported to be effective for OLP, including those forms that had been recalcitrant to treatment and disabling. Further, based on the safety demonstrated in atopic dermatitis trials that included children as young as age 2 years, topical tacrolimus ointment is apparently a safe, effective, and well-tolerated therapeutic modality. Overall, the lipid based tacrolimus ointment approved by the drugs controller general of India for usage in atopic dermatitis is expected to offer a safe and effective therapeutic modality with long-term benefits for lesions of lichen planus also.
