10 year old female comes to me with this scaling plaque on the knee. Few months ago she had a verruca which was treated topically with Canthacur (cantharidin) after which she developed a blister which popped and left redness which developed into this plaque which has been enlarging. Does not have any other similar lesion anywhere else on the body. Family history is negative for psoriasis. The only medication she is on is Circadin 2mgx1 (melatonin).

16y old female having this plaque since she is 12y. Pt reports that the plaque is pruritic and it has been growing slowly with time. Her medical hx is unremarkable.
