face, and neck.1 Occasionally, lesions are generalized. The condition presents in the second and third decades of life as round to oval, 2โ€“6-cm flesh-colored and sometimes pruritic, symmetric plaques composed of multiple 1โ€“3-mm thorny, grouped follicular papules which protrude above the surface of the skin.1โ€“3 The condition is of no clinical significance. Lichen spinulosus has been described in association with atopy, Crohn disease, HIV infection, and as an adverse drug reaction.4โ€“7

Histologic features Lichen spinulosus is characterized by keratotic plugging of dilated follicular infundibula and a superficial perivascular and perifollicular lymphohistiocytic infiltrate.1 Sebaceous glands may be atrophic or absent. Perforating folliculitis-like features can be superimposed.

predominantly affected, but lesions may extend to involve the thighs, upper arms, and buttocks.1

Histologic features The papules consist of a cystically dilated follicular infundibulum filled with keratinous debris.4
