Lichenoid reaction refers to lesions which mimic the clinical picture of lichen planus but occur due to reaction to certain medications,dental materials, food items, flavoring agents etc. This case report describes a rare case of lichenoid reaction to anti tubercular therapy. The patient was treated using pulse therapy consisting of a combination of 50 mg Levamisole and 5 mg Prednisolone along with topical application of 0.1% Triamcinolone acetate.
