Pityriasis lichenoides encompasses several inflammatory skin conditions, including pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) and pityriasis lichenoides chronica. This review covers their history, epidemiology, clinical presentation, causes, and treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pityriasis lichenoides is a spectrum of rare inflammatory skin conditions.
  • It includes distinct variants such as pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) and pityriasis lichenoides chronica.
  • Febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease is a severe subtype of PLEVA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of pityriasis lichenoides.
  • To consolidate information on the history, epidemiology, clinical features, pathophysiology, and treatment of these conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies and case reports.
  • Synthesis of information regarding the clinical spectrum and management of pityriasis lichenoides.
