Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Assessment of tissue and serum levels of interleukin 4 (IL -4) in pityriasis lichenoides chronica (PLC) patients and normal controls.
measurement of tisssue and serum levels of interleukin 4 (IL -4) in pityriasis lichenoides chronica (PLC) patients and comparing them with normal controls to control and verify the hypothesisof involvement of IL-4 in the pathogenesis of PLC
6 months
Study Arms (2)

ACTIVE COMPARATORone skin biopsy (lesional) and serum sample will be taken from every patient
healthy controls
EXPERIMENTALa skin biopsy and serum sample will be taken from each control sample
Interventions
skin biopsy from lesional skin and serum sample will be taken from each patient . also a skin biopsy and serum sample will be taken from each healthy control
