Quick Summary:

  • Reactive Perforating Collagenosis (RPC) is a very rare skin disorder that can manifest during early childhood or adulthood. In this abnormal condition, collagen fibers come out through (extrude from) the epidermis of skin
  • There are two forms of Reactive Perforating Collagenosis - acquired (that is seen in adults) and inherited (that can be seen in children)
  • The cause of the condition is generally unknown, but the contributing factors for Reactive Perforating Collagenosis may include chronic renal failure, poorly-controlled diabetes, hypothyroidism, and family history of the condition in case RPC is inherited
  • Reactive Perforating Collagenosis is a chronic disorder that is characterized by the presence of single or multiple papules on the trunk, arms, and legs. The skin lesions grow over many weeks and are accompanied by itching

  • The prognosis of Reactive Perforating Collagenosis is frequently excellent, with or without treatment. However, the symptoms can be longstanding; the skin lesions may appear, subside, and reappear over one’s lifetime
