Keywords:
Polymorphous light eruption, Lichen spinulosus, DermoscopyAbstract
Polymorphic light eruption (PMLE) is a highly prevalent photosensitivity disorder. We present a novel variant PMLE resembling lichen spinulosus in an 11-year-old girl. This rare PMLE manifestation displayed spiny follicular papules, deviating from typical presentations. Recognition of this variant expands our understanding of PMLE's diverse clinical spectrum and emphasizes the significance of accurate diagnosis for proper management.References
