[7 min watch] COVID vaccine-induced lichen planus on areas previously affected by vitiligo
In this short video, Dr Vincenzo Piccolo talks about the fascinating case study of a patient he recently saw who had an outbreak of lichen planus in an area previously affected by vitiligo, after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine.

In the video, Dr Piccolo looks at the real patient case study of a 64-year-old woman who presented to his practice with vitiligo – a skin condition she has had for over 50 years. Very recently, the areas affected by vitiligo broke out with lesions indicative of lichen planus.
The lesions appeared after the patient received her first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, then disappeared. They reappeared again within 24 hours of receiving her second dose of the vaccine, showing some correlation between the two events.
