Abstract

Prurigo pigmentosa is an infrequent inflammatory dermatosis of unknown etiology, characterized by recurrent episodes of pruritic erythematous papules which develop into intense reticulated pigmentation. It has been referenced most frequently in young women in Japan. Only thirty cases have been described outside of Japan. We describe a 32-year-old Spanish female who developed a pruritic dermatosis with the clinical characteristics and histopathological findings of prurigo pigmentosa. We review the epidemiological, clinical and histopathological characteristics of this peculiar skin disease.
