What is Lymphomatoid Papulosis?
Lymphomatoid Papulosis (LyP) is a disease of the immune system that presents with self-healing small bumps and spots on the skin that come and go. It can be persistent, with frequent, recurring eruptions, or it can self-resolve for an extended period of time before showing up again. Stress associated exacerbations are common.
Treatment of Lymphomatoid Papulosis
Not all cases require treatment. Mild cases may be treated with topical steroids. Severe cases may benefit from other kinds of oral medicines and/or phototherapy.
