Abstract
Prurigo pigmentosa is a rare dermatosis with unknown etiology. Clinically; it is characterized by pruritic erythematous papules, papulovesicles that spontaneously resolve, leaving reticulated hyperpigmentation. Lesions usually locate on the trunk, upper part of the back, the sacral area, abdomen and chest. A 22-year-old woman presented to our clinic with pruritic brown macules on her neck and chest, which by means of supportive clinical and histopathological features, was diagnosed as prurigo pigmentosa. We present a patient with a rarely seen disease who was treated effectively with doxycycline.

Abstract
Prurigo pigmentosa etyolojisi bilinmeyen nadir görülen bir deri hastalığıdır. Klinik olarak kaşıntılı eritemli papül ve papüloveziküller ile karakterizedir. Lezyonlar genellikle gövdeye, sırtın üst kısmına, sakral bölgeye, karına ve göğüse yerleşir ve postinflamatuar hiperpigmentasyon ile iyileşir. Sırtta ve gövde ön yüzünde kahverengi lekeler ve kaşıntı hikayesiyle polikliniğimize başvuran, 22 yaşındaki bir kadın olguya, klinik ve histopatolojik özellikleri ile prurigo pigmentosa tanısı konuldu. Prurigo pigmentosanın nadir görülen bir hastalık olması ve olgunun doksisiklin tedavisine cevap vermesi nedeniyle sunulmaya değer bulunmuştur.
