AB  - COVID-19 vaccines may cause the onset or exacerbation of inflammatory skin diseases. However, the relationship between COVID-19 vaccines and immune-mediated skin diseases is still not fully known. Lichen planus pigmentosus inversus is a rare variant of lichen planus and, unlike lichen planus pigmentosus, this form affects people with white skin. It occurs in intertriginous areas such as the groin and axillae and 90% of patients have axillary involvement. There are cases of lichen planus reported after COVID-19 vaccines, and this is the first case of lichen planus pigmentosus inversus after SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccine (Sinovac). Additional studies are needed to demonstrate this relationship.

N2  - COVID-19 aşıları inflamatuvar deri hastalıklarının başlamasına veya alevlenmesine neden olabilir. Bununla birlikte, COVID-19 aşıları ile immün aracılı deri hastalıkları arasındaki ilişki hala tam olarak bilinmemektedir.Liken planus pigmentosus inversus, liken planusun nadir görülen bir varyantı olup liken planus pigmentozusun aksine, bu form beyaz tenli kişileri etkiler. Kasık ve koltuk altı gibi intertriginöz bölgelerde ortaya çıkar ve hastaların %90'ında aksiller tutulum mevcuttur. COVID-19 aşıları sonrası bildirilen liken planus olguları mevcut olup, bu vaka inaktif COVID-19 aşısı (Sinovac) sonrası ortaya çıkan liken planus pigmentosus inversusu bildiren ilk vakadır. Bu ilişkiyi ortaya koymak için ek çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
