Evaluation of Beta-Blockers as Triggers for Drug-Induced Lichen Planus in Hypertensive Patients

Introduction: Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can also affect mucosal surfaces, presenting as a variety of forms including oral, cutaneous, genital, and mixed types. The exact cause of LP remains unclear, but it is often associated with immune system dysfunction, genetic predisposition, and environmental triggers, including certain medications. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of beta-blockers as triggers for drug-induced lichen planus in hypertensive patients.
