GlossaryErythematous Papules

small, raised, red bumps on the skin

Erythematous papules are small, raised, red bumps on the skin that are often a sign of inflammation or irritation. They can be caused by a variety of conditions, including allergic reactions, infections, or autoimmune diseases, and are characterized by their red color due to increased blood flow to the affected area.

Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
