	eMedicine - Fibrous Papule of the Face : Article by Simone Laube, MD, MRCP
		Fibrous papules are usually dome-shaped lesions with a shiny, skin-colored appearance.
		Hypercellular fibrous papules are characterized by a dense infiltrate of round fibroblasts, often with a nevoid appearance (differential diagnoses include malignant melanoma and atypical fibroxanthoma).
		Inflammatory fibrous papules have dense, diffuse dermal infiltrates of predominantly mixed small and large lymphocytes with plasma cells, histiocytes, and rare eosinophils and neutrophils (differential diagnoses include lymphoma, lymphocytic infiltrate, and an infectious process).

		True nevus cells are found in some cases, and their presence has led to the idea that fibrous papules are related to nevocellular nevi.
		Therefore, the collagen in fibrous papules must either have been nonresponsive to sun exposure, protected from sun damage, or this collagen is re-formed collagen.
		In view of the diversity of findings, it is tempting to speculate that fibrous papules may represent a variety of pre-existing papular lesions that have been modified by trauma such as attempts at zit popping or other trauma.

	The Body: Twice-Daily Massage Can Reduce Papule Formation Among HIV-Infected Patients Receiving Poly-L-Lactic Acid ...
		According to the Sculptra package insert, subcutaneous papules are “lesions of 5 mm or less, typically palpable, asymptomatic and non-visible.” An earlier study known as VEGA found that 26 of 50 patients who received poly-L-lactic acid developed a subcutaneous papule at some point.
		Patrick Unemori, of the University of California-San Francisco, and colleagues sought to reduce the incidence of these papules in a substudy of an ongoing trial involving HIV-infected patients receiving poly-L-lactic acid injections for lipoatrophy.
		At least one long-term study on poly-L-lactic acid is currently enrolling; it is sponsored by the University of New South Wales in Australia.
