A Case of Generalized Lichenoid Reaction upon Red Permanent Lip-Liner Make-Up
Journal Title: Journal of Dermatology Research and Therapy - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background/Aims: Cosmetic permanent make-up is an increasingly popular form of tattooing. The latter is potentially associated with adverse skin reactions. Whereas localized lichenoid reactions at tattooed sites have been reported, generalized eruptions are rare. Methods: We report a case of generalized lichenoid reaction upon red permanent lip-liner make-up. Results: Based on both the clinical and histological features as well as the patch tests results, the underlying pathomechanisms and therapeutic approach are discussed. Conclusion: Dissemination may be due to an allergic reaction or an isomorphic response.
