Lichenoid drug eruption: crystal methamphetamine or adulterants?
Many drugs have been reported to produce an eruption that is clinically and histologically indistinguishable from lichen planus. I report a case of lichenoid drug eruption occurring after crystal methamphetamine abuse. To my knowledge, this is the first report of an illicit drug causing a lichenoid drug eruption.
