Abstract
Actinic lichen planus (LP) is a rare variant of the common papulosquamous disease LP. It occurs mainly on sun-exposed parts of the body and has a high incidence during spring and summer. We report a case of melasma-like presentation of actinic LP in a 52-year-old Saudi man not known to have any comorbidities, who presented with asymptomatic, hyperpigmented patches on the face.
