Jessner lymphocytic infiltrate

Jessner lymphocytic infiltrate of the skin is a cutaneous condition characterized by a persistent papular and plaque-like skin eruption which can occur on the neck, face and back and may re-occur. This is an uncommon skin disease and is a benign collection of lymph cells. Its cause is not known and can be hereditary. It is named for Max Jessner. It is thought to be equivalent to lupus erythematosus tumidus.

It can occur as the result of ACE inhibitors and a number of medications used to treat multiple sclerosis including glatiramer acetate.
