The main causative agent of tubal lichen are the fungi of the family Pityrosporum orbiculare, Malassezia furfur, Pityrosporum ovale. Under normal conditions, spores of fungi do not harm the skin of a person.

But nevertheless there are a number of reasons for the onset of the disease:

• the immune system is weakened;
• under supercooling;
• Skin can not cope with the barrier function poorly;
• frequent use of microbicides;
• sweating is increased;
• disorders of the endocrine system;
• synthetics;
• chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
• changing the chemical composition of sweat glands;
• genetic predisposition;
• stress.

Studies of dermatologists have shown that often tubular lichen occurs most often in people with pulmonary tuberculosis of lung lymphogranulomatosis.
