Its role in actinic lichen planus (ALP), however, remains incompletely characterized. We report a biopsy\u2010confirmed case of ALP in a middle\u2010aged man presenting with asymptomatic hyperpigmented plaques over photoexposed areas of the face. Baseline polarized dermoscopy demonstrated annular Wickham\u2019s striae, a central gray structureless area, gray\u2013brown dots, fine white scales, and diffuse brown pigmentation. Histopathological examination revealed compact orthokeratosis, wedge\u2010shaped hypergranulosis, basal cell vacuolar degeneration, pigment incontinence, and a dense band\u2013like lichenoid lymphocytic infiltrate, confirming the diagnosis. The patient received combined therapy comprising oral hydroxychloroquine, topical corticosteroid therapy, broad\u2010spectrum photoprotection, and two sessions of fractional CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    laser performed at 4\u2010week intervals. At the 8\u2010week follow\u2010up, clinical improvement was accompanied by attenuation of inflammatory dermoscopic structures with persistence of residual pigmentary features, reflecting regression of active interface dermatitis despite ongoing postinflammatory pigmentation. This case highlights the clinicodermoscopic and histopathological correlation in ALP and illustrates the practical utility of dermoscopic monitoring (inflammoscopy) as a noninvasive adjunct for assessing therapeutic response in routine clinical practice.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/crdm\/5877562","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,21]],"date-time":"2026-10-21T12:22:04Z","timestamp":1792585324000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dermoscopic Monitoring of Therapeutic Regression in Actinic Lichen Planus: A Practical Illustration of Inflammoscopy in Clinical Care"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-7499-0744","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"NagaNitya","family":"Vangala","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology &amp; Leprosy Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research Deemed to Be University  Wardha Maharashtra India  dmimsu.edu.in"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0916-3730","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adarshlata","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology &amp; Leprosy Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research Deemed to Be University  Wardha Maharashtra India  dmimsu.edu.in"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2704-9165","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bhushan","family":"Madke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology &amp; Leprosy Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research Deemed to Be University  Wardha Maharashtra India  dmimsu.edu.in"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-1218-0181","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Varun","family":"H.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology &amp; Leprosy Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research Deemed to Be University  Wardha Maharashtra India  dmimsu.edu.in"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijwd.2015.04.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_2","first-page":"377","article-title":"Lichen Planus Actinicus","volume":"72","author":"Meads S.
