Abstract
Prurigo pigmentosa is an infrequent inflammatory dermatosis of unknown etiology, characterized by recurrent episodes of pruritic erythematous papules which develop into intense reticulated pigmentation. It has been referenced most frequently in young women in Japan. Only thirty cases have been described outside of Japan.

We review the epidemiological, clinical and histopathological characteristics of this peculiar skin disease.
