Lichen planus mucosae. small spots (splashes) of white or opaline stains and papules of the buccal mucosa, which condense to flat plaques at the end of the teeth. the mucosal changes have been present for 6 months and do not cause any significant discomfort.
Verrucae plantares. multiple solid verrucae, solid papules, which in places are also aggregated. in the centre painful when strong pressure is applied.
Pediculosis capitis: Numerous nits, recognizable as white spots on the hair shaft, in a 7-year-old girl. Several schoolmates are also affected. Painful lymphadenitis in the occipital region due to scratching effects with subsequent eczematization (lice eczema; not visible here) and impetiginization.
Condylomata acuminata. 22-year-old colored patient with small, brownish, partly confluent, continuously increasing papules on the prepuce and penis shaft. Typical condylomas are also found on the glans penis, perianal and anal canal.
Verrucae vulgares: linearly arranged, broad-based, white-grey, symptomatic papules (Remark: in a moist mucosal environment all cornification processes - whether inflammatory or neoplastic - turn grey-white, the cause is relatively simple: the horny layer stores a lot of water - as can be seen when bathing the palms of the hands for a longer period of time - and thus obtains this opalescent colouring, which is not transparent for the "colour red"; the normal cheek mucosa does not cornify, so it remains transparent, the red colour of the mucosa shimmers through).
Verrucae plantares. Chronic recurrent, rough, rough, yellow-greyish, sooted papules and plaques on the planta pedum of a 47-year-old man that have been present for several years. Furthermore, there are multiple, skin-coloured or reddish scars in cases of multiple surgical removal of warts.
