Lichen spinulosus presents as discrete round plaques that are made up of numerous tiny, monomorphic keratotic skin-colored to slightly hypopigmented papules (Fig. 8.17).
Individual lesions have a keratotic spine protruding from their surface, which results in a rough texture on palpation.
Most often located on the neck, buttocks, abdomen, or the extremities of a child with dry skin or atopic dermatitis.
