In lichen striatus, sections show a lichenoid infiltrate involving an epidermis which is usually acanthotic (figure 1). The infiltrate can be very dense or quite sparse (figures 1, 2) and there may be numerous melanophages in the superficial dermis. Apoptotic keratinocytes are usually seen at all levels of the epidermis.
