What happens during the disease - subacute (active) lichen planus
Subacute (active) lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the skin and mucous membranes. it is believed to be caused by an abnormal immune response to an unknown antigen, resulting in the production of autoantibodies that target the keratinocytes of the skin and mucous membranes. this leads to the formation of characteristic lesions, such as itchy, scaly papules, plaques, and vesicles, which can be painful and can lead to scarring.
