Description:Sub-lesional injections of glucocorticoids may break the itch- lick cycle, but should not be used in more chronic cases where secondary pyoderma is a likely complication. Findings include epidermal hyperplasia with marked rete ridge formation, compact orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis, which strongly suggests chronic surface irritation, and fibrosis of the dermal papillae.
