Abstract
GARCIA MORAN, J. I. and JARABO GARCIA, M. T.. Widespread lichen nitidus: a case report. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.58, pp.137-139. ISSN 1139-7632. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1139-76322013000200006.
Lichen nitidus is a rare dermatosis of unknown etiology; it consists of small, hemispherical, shiny and flesh-coloured papules commonly asymptomatic or sometimes itchy. It has predilection on the genitals, lower abdomen, flexor surfaces of forearms and wrists. There are rare reports of patients having a more generalized distribution of lesions. Lichen nitidus lesions resolve spontaneously in months or years. We present a case of generalized lichen nitidus.
