Papulosquamous annular diseases

Abstract

Papulosquamous diseases represent a commonly encountered group of cutaneous disorders in dermatology. Lesions can present with papules and plaques in various configurations, including annu-lar forms. Some of these disorders are expected to appear in annular configurations, such as pityria-sis rosea and subcorneal pustular dermatosis. Others may either begin as or even progress to annular configurations, including psoriasis vulgaris, seborrheic dermatitis, and nummular dermatitis. We have reviewed common papulosquamous diseases that can present with annular lesions, which includes psori-asis vulgaris, pityriasis rosea, subcorneal pustular dermatosis, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and nummular dermatitis. For each disorder, we have discussed the details of presentation and differential diseases to be considered.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
