LICHEN SIMPLEX. Presented by DR. STILLIANS.

A white man, aged 53, gave a history of being bitten by a woodtick on July 1, 1925, the center of the bitten area being torn out when the tick was removed. This was followed by intense itching. The scab was torn off the wound, and he then noticed an elevation. The itching had persisted since that time, being especially marked during dressing and undressing.

In the right posterior axillary line there was a nodule 1 cm. in diameter, bluish-red, with a thin, pink scar on its rounded top. Extending for about 2 cm. around this nodule was a patch of brown pigmentation in which areas of lichenification could be seen, and beyond this patch were a few small areas of lichenification. Dermographism was not marked. The infiltration had been somewhat reduced by the application of a soothing lotion during one week.
