A Verrucous Plaque Healing with Cribriform Scarring

Abstract

Lupus vulgaris manifests with diverse clinical presentations, although the typical pattern involves a plaque that extends at one end and heals at the other, leaving behind characteristic atrophic scarring. Cribriform scarring is classically described after the healing of ulcerative pyoderma gangrenosum. In this case report, we present a noteworthy instance of lupus vulgaris that exhibited healing accompanied by cribriform scarring.
