LSC is a localized skin disorder clinically characterized by lichenified plaques of skin often accompanied by overlying excoriations. These plaques can become discoloured, with varying shades of erythema ranging from pink to dark brown. Over a longer course, it may transform into a hypopigmented plaque with a darker border. They are localized to specific areas of the body as one or a few plaques. This is in contrast to prurigo nodularis (PN), another chronic pruritic condition, which is frequently more broadly distributed across multiple regions of the body as nodules. While LSC may sometimes be referred to as a neurodermatitis, which encompasses other chronic itchy conditions.
