Abstract
|
|
|
|
Generalized lichen nitidus is a rare subtype of lichen nitidus, and the former condition is characterized by multiple, shiny flesh-colored pin-head sized papules that occur over the entire body. Generalized lichen nitidus is often associated with various degrees of pruritus and the clinical course tends to be chronic in contrast with the other forms of lichen nitidus. We report here on a case of a 39-year-old man who was diagnosed with generalized lichen nitidus that developed after a subcutaneous insulin injection. He was treated with topical corticosteroid.
