Division of Dermatology, Dell Medical School, University of Texas at Austin, US Dermatology Partners, Orion Clinical Research, Austin, Texas, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Perforating lichen nitidus is a rare skin condition, with only about 11 cases documented globally, usually affecting young males in areas that experience frequent mechanical irritation like hands and elbows.
- The condition features distinct histopathological characteristics, including a specific lymphohistiocytic inflammation within the skin layers, leading to the elimination of dermal materials through the skin surface.
- This case study is notable as it describes the first instance of perforating lichen nitidus in a patient with atopic dermatitis undergoing dupilumab treatment, indicating that while atopic dermatitis improved, the lichen nitidus worsened, hinting at a unique underlying mechanism for the condition.

Department of Dermatology, Tianjin Children's Hospital/Tianjin University Children's Hospital, Tianjin, China.
Background: Owing to their similar appearance, lichen striatus (LS), lichen nitidus (LN), juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG), and molluscum contagiosum (MC) on the penis often lead to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, especially in children. In vivo evaluation of penile dermatoses with reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is helpful in the diagnosis of these ambiguous lesions in children.
Methods: We recruited 12 patients with LS, nine with LN, seven with JXG, and nine with MC and evaluated the characteristics and distinguishing features of the four kinds of papule dermatoses on the penis using RCM.

Division of Photobiology and Photomedicine, Department of Dermatology, Henry Ford Health, Detroit, Michigan, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Polymorphous light eruption (PMLE) and chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) were traditionally thought to mostly affect White individuals, but recent studies show a higher prevalence among people with darker skin, especially African Americans.
- The study reviewed 844 PMLE patients and 60 CAD patients at a dermatology center over about 23 years, finding a significant occurrence of these conditions in dark-skinned individuals compared to light-skinned individuals.
- Recognizing variants like pinpoint papular PMLE in dark-skinned patients is key for proper diagnosis and treatment, as they may be confused with other skin conditions like lichen nitidus.
