infectious papulo -squamous lesions

of skin
 INTRODUCTION
Papulosquamous diseases comprise the largest
conglomerate of skin diseases seen by the
Dermatologist.
Characteristics:
 Papule,
 Erythematous,
 Variable degree of scaling on the surface

 DISCUSSION

Lichen planus ssignificantly more commont another papulo squamous

lesions.
In our study, most of the common groups for lichenplanus were aged 31-
40 years which is comparable to the study conducted by D'Costa and
Bharambe.
In this study 22 cases (34%) were clinically correctly diagnosed, 38
cases (58%) were diagnosed differently and 5 cases (8%) had different
clinical diagnoses.

 Conclusions

Papulosquamous lesions of skin are commonly seen by

Dermatologists in their daily practice and because of the
considerable overlap in their clinical pattern, presentation
and distribution, clinical diagnosis is often difficult. So
histopathological study will give a conclusive diagnosis.
