Lichen nitidus most commonly presents in children and young adults and does not favor one sex or race. Lichen nitidus presents as multiple, discrete, shiny, flat-topped, pale to skin-colored papules, 1 to 2 mm in diameter. These lesions commonly present on the limbs, abdomen, chest, and penile shaft. It is usually asymptomatic, so treatment is generally for symptomatic or cosmetically disturbing lesions.
