In lighter skin, it tends to present with pink to red papules and macules with background erythema and variable scale. In darker skin, presentation also includes scaly papules and macules but varies in color from violaceous and dark brown to hypopigmented. This often resolves with postinflammatory pigment alteration. ++ ++ FIGURE 5-1. Fuschia-pink papules scattered on the mid to lower back, lacking scale and with significant background erythema.
