title: Lichen spinulosus: response to therapy.
abstract: Two cases of lichen spinulosus and the response to therapy with Keralyt under occlusion are presented. It is evident that Keralyt under occlusion for two consecutive weeks will clear these lesions. However, twice weekly application of Keralyt must be used in order to keep these areas free of lesions. An undesirable side effect in the two patients presented was a burning, stinging sensation immediately following application of Keralyt.
