Dermatose inflamatória de baixo grau comum de etiologia desconhecida, na qual múltiplas máculas pequenas com descamação fina aparecem na face e, menos comumente, em ombros e braços de crianças. Podem inicialmente ser levemente eritematosas, mas logo se tornam hipopigmentadas com escamas superficiais finas. Histopatologicamente há uma leve dermatite espongiótica subaguda com redução da melanina. É mais proeminente em crianças com pele pigmentada e pode levantar preocupação sobre vitiligo. | |||
