Abstract
|
|
|
|
Perforating lichen nitidus is an unusual variant of lichen nitidus. It is clinically characterized by umbilicated papules and histopathologically characterized by transepidermal elimination of inflammatory debris from granulomatous infiltrates. Most cases of perforating lichen nitidus are treated with topical corticosteroids, but long-term use of topical corticosteroids could provoke several side effects. Herein, we report a case of perforating lichen nitidus treated effectively and safely with topical tacalcitol ointment. We performed a dermoscopic examination for the perforating lichen nitidus lesion and found the characteristic "frogspawn" dermoscopic feature.
