A few controlled studies have addressed this problem [ Table 4], which have tended to show that MG and FT are more frequently seen in patients with psoriasis compared to controls.…”

“…It will be interesting to follow those patients etiology, which presents as map-like areas of erythema which are not constant in size, shape, or location. [18] The aim of this study was to investigate the association of psoriasis with MG in India and to study the characteristics of this association in relation to the features of psoriasis like gender of the patient, severity, and early-versus late-onset of psoriasis. A further goal was to verify whether any other type of oral lesions are more frequently seen in patients with psoriasis versus controls.…”

Angina bullosa haemorrhagica

“…ABH is also known as localised oral purpura2 stomatopompholyx haemorrhagica3 and recurrent oral hemophlyctenosis 4. The pathogenesis of this condition is not known but according to Hopkins and Walker5 there is weakness in the attachment of the oral epithelium to the underlying connective tissue in susceptible patients which ruptures the junction on mild trauma and leads to subepithelial bulla.…”

Vulvo-vaginal ano-gingival syndrome: Another variant of mucosal lichen planus

“…The oral mucosa is the most common mucosa involved in LP and may affect up to 1%–2% of the general population. [1] Approximately, 25% of women with oral LP also have vulvo-vaginal involvement. [2] Mucosal LP (MLP) of genital skin is usually located on the glans penis in males and vulva and vagina in females.…”
