A 48-year-old woman with a long history of dry, itchy patches on the arms and back of the elbows

Mon, 11/07/2011 - 14:48 — Jeong Hee Cho-Vega M.D., Ph.D.

The patient is a 48-year-old white woman with a long history of dry, itchy patches on the arms and back of the elbows. These lesions were responsive to topical steroids and UV-B. Recently, she developed a follicular rash on the left anterior thigh that was not responsive to topical steroids. A 4-mm punch skin biopsy was performed.
