Abstract

A 9-year-old female patient who consulted for asymptomatic lesions on the trunk, of two months of evolution and spontaneous appearance on healthy skin. These lesions were well-defined, round, whitish papules with a slight shine. Some of them had a fine scale on the surface and in others a slight atrophic-looking depression was observed. As a background, the patient was under follow-up for vitiligo in the upper eyelids of 2 years of evolution, under treatment with tacrolimus 0.03% ointment.
