By Dr Jean Watkins, 25 November 2011
The case: This 48-year-old patient had been aware of a number of small, brown papules on the upper part of her chest ever since her teenage years. They had gradually spread and increased in number. The lesions were completely symptomless, but recently so many friends had remarked on the 'rash' that she felt embarrassed to wear low-cut shirts, dresses or swimwear.
