Abstract

Lichen Simplex Chronicus (LSC) is chronic dermatitis caused by repetitive scratching or rubbing of the skin. It presents as hyperpigmentation and thickening of the skin with variable scaling. Because LSC is a secondary lesion with a wide variety of causes, optimal management is contingent on identifying and managing its exact aetiology. We report an intriguing case of LSC in an elderly patient with longstanding scabies and sensory neuropathy.

摘要

慢性单纯性苔藓（lichen simplex chronicus，LSC）是由皮肤反复搔抓或摩擦引起的慢性皮炎。其表现为皮肤色素沉着和增厚，伴有不同程度的鳞屑。由于 LSC 是一种继发性病变，病因多种多样，因此最佳治疗方法取决于确定并治疗其确切病因。我们报告了一例有趣的 LSC 病例，患者为一位长期患有疥疮和感觉神经病变的老年患者。
