Question:

My daughter (17 months) has Lichen Striatus. We first noticed it after a day on the beach in eastern Florida. Should we worry? Can this lead to other problems?

Answer:

Lichen striatus is a self limiting disorder, primarily of childhood. The cause is not known; but several claims have been made that it has a viral origin. The only possible link with Type 1 diabetes is that there has been one report that it might have an autoimmune basis. However it is not known to be associated with diabetes or any other condition.
