New‐onset lichen planus affecting trunk (A and B), nail (C) and feet (D). RCM images (E) from papules located on the left foot showed the presence of a diffuse inflammatory cells infiltrate (white arrows) composed of brightly refractile, oval to stellate‐shaped cells corresponding to melanophages and small, less refractile, roundish cells corresponding to lymphocytes at the dermal‐epidermal junction (DEJ) level with focal disruption of dermal papillae that appeared non‐rimmed (red circles).
