I see a lichenified epidermis with some necrotic keratinocytes and fibrinoid change of the papillary dermis, maybe secondary to scratching. I don´t know what this could be specifically.

Difficult….. is there deposition of amorphous material in the sub epidermis? may be congo red and CK5/6 to rule out lichen amyloidosis…not typical though!!... any other ideas??

Yes very difficult :-(( I think we have a lichenoid tissue reaction pattern with vacuolar degeneration, squamatized basal cells and focal subepidermal clefting. I think also we have some ? sclerosis in the papillary dermis.. Could it be early (bullous) LSEA?
Amyloidosis crossed my mind but I do not think there is a definite fissured material here.
