Prurigo pigmentosa (PP), also known as Nagashima’s disease and “keto rash,” is an uncommon inflammatory skin condition of unknown etiology. It is characterized by pruritic, erythematous papules, papulovesicles, and vesicles that appear in a reticular pattern, most commonly on the trunk. The lesions are typically followed by postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
