It is characterized by symmetric crops of round or oval skin-coloured papules, eventually becoming bluish, soft protuberances (1-2 cm in diameter). On trunk and extremities, back of shoulders and extensor surfaces of arms preferred locations, seldom on face or neck.
First described in 1881 by Ernst Schweninger and Fausto Buzzi. The inflammatory variant was reported by Celso Pellizari in 1884 and Josef Jadassohn in 1892.
