History

A 55 year old widow noticed two tranverse linear streaks over her left elbow, 2 months ago, after scratching the limb on a bush. She subsequently developed similar lesions over both forearms. The eruption is not itchy and she denies scratching. There are no rashes elsewhere, she takes no medication, and there are no known allergies.
