====Micro====
The sections show skin with mild patchy chronic inflammation, consisting predominantly of lymphocytes, at the dermal-epidermal junction.  The epidermis matures to the surface, has rete ridges and is of a normal thickness. Focally, parakeratosis is present. No significant nuclear atypia is identified.
 
=====Thinned epidermis=====
The sections show skin with mild patchy chronic inflammation, consisting predominantly of
lymphocytes, at the dermal-epidermal junction. Eosinophils are not readily apparent.
 
The epidermis matures to the surface; however, it is thinned and focally flattened
appearing. No hyperkeratosis or parakeratosis is apparent. The superficial dermis is
minimally hyalinized focally. No significant nuclear atypia is identified.
 
======Alternate======

lymphocytes, at the dermal-epidermal junction. Eosinophils are not readily apparent.
The epidermis matures to the surface; however, it is focally thinned and focally flattened.
No significant hyperkeratosis or parakeratosis is apparent. The superficial
dermis shows no apparent fibrosis. No significant nuclear atypia is identified.
