Abstract
Papulosquamous diseases represent a commonly encountered group of cutaneous disorders
in dermatology. Lesions can present with papules and plaques in various configurations,
including annular forms. Some of these disorders are expected to appear in annular
configurations, such as pityriasis rosea and subcorneal pustular dermatosis. Others
may either begin as or even progress to annular configurations, including psoriasis
vulgaris, seborrheic dermatitis, and nummular dermatitis. We have reviewed common
papulosquamous diseases that can present with annular lesions, which includes psoriasis
vulgaris, pityriasis rosea, subcorneal pustular dermatosis, contact dermatitis, seborrheic
dermatitis, and nummular dermatitis. For each disorder, we have discussed the details
of presentation and differential diseases to be considered.
