Maize and Costner take umbrage with my question about whether the entity characterized by erythematous papules, nodules, and/or plaques with no surface change, that is histologically characterized by a moderate to dense superficial and deep perivascular and periadnexal lymphocytic infiltrate with mucin deposition, and that occurs in a photodistribution and has been demonstrated to be reproducible with phototesting, should be classified as a form of chronic CLE within the classification system proposed by Gilliam and Sontheimer.1
