I did not do a very good job of photographing this lesion, but there is a melanocytic proliferation in there. It is a subtle compound melanocytic nevus with overlying spongiotic changes, which I thought was good for a Meyerson nevus. With respect to vincenzo's comment, I guess if you see pigment, a regressing melanocytic lesion is a good thought as well. When I first saw the case, I did think of something inflammatory so lichen striatum is also a good thought.

but lichen stratus is linear lesion. can it be a just papule

just for clarification

for me a benign spongiotic lesion with pigment incontinence and dense inflammatory cells May be LPP
