Abstract:
Linear psoriasis can closely mimic ILVEN, complicating diagnosis. Unlike ILVEN, linear psoriasis responds well to topical therapies. In resource-constrained settings, a histology-first approach supported by dermoscopy offers a practical and reliable diagnostic strategy. It also reduces unnecessary interventions and avoids dependence on costly, often inaccessible techniques such as immunohistochemistry.
