Lichenification is a rough, thickened, hardened area of epidermis resulting from chronic irritation such as scratching or rubbing. An example of lichenification is chronic dermatitis. A fissure is a linear crack with sharp edges, extending into the dermis. Examples include cracks at the corners of the mouth or in the hands, or those seen with athlete's foot. A keloid is an elevated, irregular, darkened area of excess scar tissue caused by excessive collagen formation during healing. It extends beyond the site of the original injury.
