Lichen planus pigmentosus inversus (LPPI) is a rare lichen planus pigmentosus inversus (LPPI) form that develops in the flexuaral and intertriginous areas as brown macules, papules, or reticulated hyperpigmentation. The lesions are usually asymptomatic. Mucosae, scalp, and palmoplantar areas are unaffected by the condition. LPPI differential diagnoses include ashy dermatosis, mycosis fungoides, occupational dermatoses, and drug-induced dermatoses. There is no specific treatment available for LPPI. This unique LPP variant should be noted by dermatologists. As far as we know, there have been 27 cases reported all over the world. In this study, we'd like to present four more cases of this unique sickness in Arabic patients, as well as a review of the literature.
