Lichen simplex chronicus: Solitary, chronically stationary, red, rough plaque, which is formed by the "confluence" of multiple red papules. In the marginal area, single papules are still visible.

Tungiasis: Detail enlargement of the previous overview. densely standing, 1-5 mm large, partly roundish, but mostly stripy reddish-livid papules (duct structures; see right in the picture) which almost always show a small encrusted erosion at the edge (entry site of the fleas). In the center of the picture the efflorescences are overlaid by scaling.
Erythema multiforme: suddenly occurring, itchy, disseminated exanthema with cocard-like plaques, which has been present for a few days; the skin lesions appeared shortly after starting antibiotic therapy for urinary tract infection.
verruca seborrhoica: multiple verrucae seborrhoicae. continuous development since the 4th decade of life. findings: densely standing, 0.2-1.0 cm large, yellowish also brownish flat papules. individual seborrhoeic keratoses itch repeatedly. no clinically detectable inflammatory symptoms.
