Abstract
A 36-year-old female patient with HIV infection and poor treatment adherence was seen due to a skin rash that was affecting mainly her trunk and extremities. Lesions consisted of non-pruriginous papules, hyperkeratotic plaques, and desquamation (Fig 1). Upon dermoscopic examination (10x, DermLite DL3N, San Juan Capistrano, CA, USA), the lesions exhibited a hyperkeratotic appearance, and the centre was composed of several burrows on top of each other in a noodle-like pattern.
