Overview
Pityriasis Lichenoides in Children and Adolescents
Pityriasis lichenoides is a skin disease of unknown etiology and unknown incidence. It appears in children and adults and spontaneously dissappears after months or years. The disorder has a spectrum of more acute clinical and histological manifestation and milder clinical and histological variants with more chronic course, but intermediate forms can occur. The most effective treatment is phototherapy and/or systemic antibiotics. The disease prognosis is favourable despite its chronic course. The possibly lethal ulceronecrotic febrile form is very rare.
