Abstract
- Reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) is one of a range of essential perforating disorders. Two types have been recognized: the childhood or inherited form, and the adult or acquired form. Acquired RPC is usually associated with systemic diseases, especially diabetes mellitus, and/or renal failure. We present a case of a 47-year-old female with umbilicated skin lesions triggered by an insect bite. Histology from the lesion revealed transepidermal elimination of collagen.
