Abstract
Pityriasis lichenoides, which includes 2 subtypes, pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) and pityriasis lichenoides chronica (PLC), is a rare disease that can range from an acute, inflammatory eruption to a mild, chronic form. PLEVA, the acute, severe subtype, can result in erythematous patches that progress to papules that can become hemorrhagic or crusted.1 The chronic form of pityriasis lichenoides, PLC, usually presents as papules that gradually progress to flat patches and are typically not associated with pain and itching, compared with the lesions seen in PLEVA.
