Acquired Reactive Perforating Collagenosis Complicated by Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension: A Case Report
This case highlights ARPC's strong association with metabolic comorbidities and underscores the necessity of dermatoscopic and histopathological evaluation to avoid diagnostic pitfalls. The therapeutic success of topical retinoids in resource-constrained settings reinforces their role as a pragmatic first-line intervention. Clinicians should consider ARPC in patients with chronic pruritic eruptions and systemic metabolic disorders, advocating for multidisciplinary collaboration to address underlying comorbidities.
