Lichen nitidus is a generally asymptomatic disease identified by shiny, flesh-colored papules that are often limited to the trunk, upper limbs, and genitalia. Here, we describe a generalized presentation of lichen nitidus in a 6-year-old girl with Down syndrome. Lichen nitidus shares a known association with Down syndrome, and several case studies document patients with Down syndrome developing generalized lichen nitidus. The extensive nature of our patient's lichen nitidus, as well as the uncommon distribution, particularly on the face, adds to the currently limited primary literature on this subject.
