- Authors
Polcari, Ingrid C.; Mancini, Anthony J.; Stein, Sarah L.
- Abstract
Lichen nitidus is a benign skin condition of unknown etiology that is classically described on the trunk, extremities, and genitalia as pinpoint flat‐topped papules. In dark‐skinned persons, the lesions may appear shiny or even hypopigmented. Lichen nitidus is less often described on the face. We describe a series of pediatric patients with skin of color who presented with the chief complaint of facial skin lightening and had associated clinical findings consistent with lichen nitidus.
