Itchy Papules Bordering Vitiligo Patches in a Child

Vitiligo co-exists with several dermatological conditions, but co-localization has been rarely reported.We are reporting a case of a five-yearold male child who developed an itchy, violaceous border on the photo-exposed and trauma prone unstable vitiligo patches.Dermoscopy and histopathological examination was consistent with the diagnosis of lichen planus.The presentation does not seem co-incidental to us.It opens a window into genetic and immunological research to clearly establish a connection between the two dermatoses.
