Pilot study on reflectance confocal microscopy imaging of lichen planus: a real‐time, non‐invasive aid for clinical diagnosis

Abstract

Reflectance confocal microscopy may represent a real-time, non-invasive aid to clinical diagnosis of LP. However, it might be difficult to distinguish between different subtypes of interface dermatitis. Further research, including larger case series, will better define a possible differential diagnosis of these diseases using confocal microscopy.
