“…Our patient presented with typical symptoms and signs of subacute prurigo, a prurigo variant that is characterized by severely pruritic and excoriated papules that are smaller and less elevated than those of prurigo nodularis; however, the histopathologic findings, in particular the dense infiltration of neutrophils with scant eosinophils, were atypical for subacute prurigo, which usually shows spongiosis and a mixed perivascular and/or perifollicular infiltrate with scattered interstitial eosinophils 1,2 . Surprisingly, linear BMZ deposits of IgA and C3 were detected by DIF, and a diagnosis of LAD was made.…”

Seventeen patients with extensive subacute prurigo, often resistant to different regimens of prior external and internal therapy, were treated with PUVA bath photochemotherapy (psoralen bath followed by UVA irradiation) using bath water containing 0.5 mg/l of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP). In 15 of 17 patients treated, the skin lesions showed a significant improvement or even complete clearance within 8 weeks of therapy. In two patients, only limited clinical improvement was achieved. Follow-up after 6 weeks revealed sustained improvement in the successfully treated patients. The mean cumulative UVA dose given until clearance was 30.3 (SD +/- 12.6) J/cm2. Therefore, a mean of 24.1 (SD +/- 5.3) PUVA bath treatments was necessary. No side effects were seen except phototoxic reactions in two patients manifested as slight erythema. The results of this trial show that PUVA bath photochemotherapy with 8-MOP is an effective therapeutic alternative to other known therapies in subacute prurigo. Compared to oral PUVA therapy or other topical and systemic treatments, PUVA bath photochemotherapy with 8-MOP shows an excellent efficiency-side effect ratio. The clearance of chronic skin lesions refractive to other topical or systemic treatments by PUVA bath photochemotherapy with 8-MOP demonstrates that this therapy can be even superior to other common therapeutic modalities used for subacute prurigo.

“…Ackerman [1] described “a maddeningly pruritic, persistent itchy red bump disease” clinically resembling dermatitis herpetiformis or transient acantholytic dermatosis with histological features similar to papular urticaria [1]. Others used the terms subacute prurigo [2], papular eruption in black men [3], papular dermatitis [4, 5], and chronic papular dermatitis in adult men [6]. …”

Idiopathic Papular Dermatitis in the Spectrum of Chronic Papular Eruptions (Subacute Prurigo): Reappraisal and Diagnostic Algorithm

Background: The clinical diagnosis of papular eruptions is common but poorly characterized in the literature and the etiology is often unknown. Objective: To characterize the entity of idiopathic papular dermatitis in the spectrum of chronic papular eruptions. Methods: The cohort consisted of patients who presented at a tertiary medical center in 2005–2014 with a papular eruption of at least 4 months’ duration. Findings on histological analysis and thorough clinical investigation, performed in all cases, were collected. The patients completed a questionnaire on disease course and outcome. Results: Sixty-five patients were included. Sixteen patients showed morphological changes over time and were excluded. Investigations in the remaining 49 patients with a consistent papular morphology yielded a well-defined diagnosis in 23 (46%). Twenty-six patients (54%; 14 male) were diagnosed with idiopathic papular dermatitis. Their mean age at onset was 61.6 ± 14.4 years and the mean duration of disease 3.11 ± 2.726 years. In 60%, the rash resolved with conservative treatment during follow-up (mean 4.35 ± 2.53 years). Conclusions: Chronic papular eruptions encompass a wide range of skin diseases. In more than half of the cases, the etiopathogenesis remains unclear. On the basis of our results, we propose a diagnostic algorithm for idiopathic papular dermatitis.
