Elastosis perforans serpiginosa (EPS) is a rare skin disorder characterized by the formation of small, raised, yellowish-brown papules that form a serpiginous (snake-like) pattern on the skin. It is caused by the accumulation of elastin fibers in the dermis, which can lead to scarring and permanent skin damage. Symptoms may include itching, burning, and pain. Treatment typically involves topical corticosteroids and other medications to reduce inflammation.

The main symptom of Elastosis perforans serpiginosa is the presence of small, raised, yellowish-brown papules or Nodules on the skin. These Lesions may be itchy or painful and can appear anywhere on the body, but are most commonly found on the chest, back, and arms. Other symptoms may include scarring, discoloration of the skin, and thickening of the skin.

The exact cause of elastosis perforans serpiginosa (EPS) is unknown. However, some researchers believe that it may be caused by an abnormal immune response to an infection or an underlying genetic disorder. Other possible causes include exposure to certain chemicals, such as arsenic, and certain medications, such as isotretinoin.

The main treatment for Elastosis perforans serpiginosa is topical corticosteroids. These can help reduce inflammation and itching. Other treatments may include topical retinoids, antibiotics, and laser therapy. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the lesions.
