Histologic examination showed deposits of amorphous eosinophilic materials in the papillary dermis. The diagnosis of lichen amyloidosis was made. Treatment with high potency topical steroid in combination with salicylic acid ointment, emollients, and systemic antihistamine which afforded improvement after 2 weeks.
