Erosive lichen planus of vulva or vagina – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1744077271

A severe, painful and recalcitrant form of lichen planus in which mucosal surfaces are eroded. At the edges of the erosions the epithelium is mauve and a pale network (Wickham's striae) is sometimes seen. As erosions heal synechiae and scarring can develop. Symptoms include pain, dysuria and dyspareunia.
