Vulvovaginal lichen planus (VLP) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis affecting the genital skin and mucosa that can have a profound negative impact on patient quality of life. Up to 43% of women with VLP require systemic immunosuppression to achieve disease remission, and some individuals prove to be highly treatment resistant. We present a case series of 24 women with severe VLP who successfully achieved remission using off-label treatment with the interleukin-23 (IL-23) monoclonal antibody blocker tildrakizumab, and highlight tildrakizumab as a treatment for women with recalcitrant VLP who have failed more conservative treatments.
