psoriasis
non specific skin condition that develops as a consequence of chronic pruritis and scratching.
Lichen simplex chronicus
edematous degeneration of basal layer, atrophy of epidermis with disappearance of the rete pegs, underlying dermis is replaced by dense collagenous fibrous tissue, infiltrates of band-like lymphocytes
lichen sclerosus
elongation, widening, and irregular thickening of rete ridges along with acanthosis, hyperkeratosis and chronic inflammation in the dermis.
Lichen simplex chronicus
degeneration of the basal cell layer, thickening of the granular cell layer, infiltration of inflammatory cells into the sub-epithelial layer of connective tissue & development of a “saw tooth” appearance of the rete pegs
Lichen planus
