===Gross===
*Have lesions on the knuckles - ''Gottron's papules''.
===Microsopic===
Features:
*Lymphocytic interface dermatitis (inflammation at the dermal-epidermal junction).
*Loss of rete ridges.
==Lichen planus==
===General===
*An oral pathology.
*May be seen where the sun don't shine - [[penis]],<ref name=pmid20082512>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Teichman | first1 = JM. | last2 = Sea | first2 = J. | last3 = Thompson | first3 = IM. | last4 = Elston | first4 = DM. | title = Noninfectious penile lesions. | journal = Am Fam Physician | volume = 81 | issue = 2 | pages = 167-74 | month = Jan | year = 2010 | doi =  | PMID = 20082512 }}</ref> [[vulva]] and [[vagina]].<ref name=pmid20062629>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Gupta | first1 = R. | last2 = Bansal | first2 = B. | last3 = Singh | first3 = S. | last4 = Yadav | first4 = I. | last5 = Gupta | first5 = K. | last6 = Kudesia | first6 = M. | title = Lichen planus of uterine cervix - the first report of a novel site of occurrence: a case report. | journal = Cases J | volume = 2 | issue =  | pages = 9306 | month =  | year = 2009 | doi = 10.1186/1757-1626-2-9306 | PMID = 20062629 }}</ref>

*6 Ps: pruritic (itchy), purple, polygonal, planar papules and plaques.
===Gross===
*Wickham striae = white lines/dots.
**Due to hypergranulosis.
===Microscopic===
