Currently, two major perforating diseases include reactive perforating collagenosis and elastosis perforans serpiginosa. In some literature, acquired perforating dermatosis is a third major group and is a catch-all term for cases of perforating disease arising in adults, usually associated with a systemic disease. Kyrle disease is characterised by the formation of large papules with central keratin plugs and is often associated with hepatic, renal or diabetic disorders.
