Quick Summary:

• Self-Healing Papular Mucinosis (SHPM) is the localized form of lichen myxedematosus, which is a rare skin abnormality characterised by mucin deposition in the skin
• Self-Healing Papular Mucinosis is an uncommon and chronic skin condition that presents tiny papules on certain parts of the body, particularly on the head and neck region, chest and back, and extremities
• Apart from the cutaneous manifestation, certain systemic symptoms, such as fever, joint pain, and fatigue, may be noted, especially in children. As the name indicates, SHPM is a self-healing condition; a spontaneous resolution of the condition is usually noted, within a few weeks to months
• There are two types of Self-Healing Papular Mucinosis - the juvenile variant and adult variant, based on the age category of symptom presentation. The exact cause of development of Self-Healing Papular Mucinosis is currently unknown
• Self-Healing Papular Mucinosis is usually diagnosed by a skin biopsy. Following its diagnosis, if necessary, a treatment of the condition is undertaken through light therapy, use of topical creams, dermabrasion, and intralesional injections
• The prognosis of both the juvenile and adult variants of Self-Healing Papular Mucinosis are usually good, since the condition is typically known to get better and spontaneously resolves on its own
