Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is followed by cutaneous side effects in 2% of cases.[[1]] Some chronic dermatoses, more rarely oral lichen planus (LP), may be triggered or exacerbated after vaccination.[[1], [3], [5]] We report here 2 cases of multi-site mucosal LP that started after COVID-19 vaccination. SARS-CoV-2 vaccination may trigger and exacerbate mucosal lichen planus First, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination triggered LP although it is not possible to eliminate that LP was already present but quiescent before.
