“…Dear Editor, Although lichen planus is one of the cutaneous inflammatory dermatoses in which the involvement of metal allergy has been considered, 1 to the best of our knowledge, there has been no previous report of disseminated lichen planus due to zinc allergy, and only two cases of oral lichen planus due to zinc have been reported. 2,3 A T-helper (Th)1-predominant immunological status is considered to be one of the most important aspects of the pathogenesis of lichen planus. 4 A 62-year-old woman was referred to us with a 6-week history of multiple, pruritic, dark-red plaques, which emerged initially on the dorsal surface of her hands and gradually progressed up her limbs and face ( Fig.…”

“…However, there is no consensus about the treatment of inflammatory porokeratosis.The pathogenetic mechanism of the inflammatory reaction is unclear, but immunological reaction against neoplastic keratinocytic clones have been suggested. 2,[8][9][10] Further accumulation of similar cases are needed to clarify the mechanisms of inflammatory porokeratosis. 32: 890-893.…”

Disseminated superficial porokeratosis (DSP) is a keratinization disorder characterized by multiple small lesions with a slightly elevated, sharply defined ridge over the whole body. Unusual DSP cases with acute exacerbation of their lesions accompanied by severe pruritus have been reported and designated as "eruptive pruritic papular porokeratosis" or "inflammatory DSP". Histologically, the pruritic lesions in the majority of these unusual DSP cases had a dense infiltration of eosinophils and lymphocytes in the vicinity of blood vessels in the upper dermis. In this report, we describe an additional case of DSP with a similar clinical course and histopathological findings. A review of the literature showed that the pruritic condition in these unusual DSP cases can be transient and is not necessarily related to spontaneous regression. We propose the term "Inflammatory stage of DSP" for describing this unusual variant of DSP.

Noneczematous Contact Dermatitis

et al. 2013

Irritant or allergic contact dermatitis usually presents as an eczematous process, clinically characterized by erythematoedematovesicous lesions with intense itching in the acute phase. Such manifestations become erythematous-scaly as the condition progresses to the subacute phase and papular-hyperkeratotic in the chronic phase. Not infrequently, however, contact dermatitis presents with noneczematous features. The reasons underlying this clinical polymorphism lie in the different noxae and contact modalities, as well as in the individual susceptibility and the various targeted cutaneous structures. The most represented forms of non-eczematous contact dermatitis include the erythema multiforme-like, the purpuric, the lichenoid, and the pigmented kinds. These clinical entities must obviously be discerned from the corresponding “pure” dermatitis, which are not associated with contact with exogenous agents.
