A 16-year-old African American girl presented with several asymptomatic cutaneous lesions on her chest that she said arose within chickenpox scars. Examination revealed several dome-shaped, firm, flesh-colored papules and nodules ranging from 4 to 10 mm in diameter. The overlying epidermis was intact without crusting or scale (Figure 1). The remainder of the skin examination showed scattered varicella scars. The results of laboratory investigations, including a complete blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, immunologic studies, and serum protein electrophoresis, were unremarkable. A chest x-ray film and an abdominal computed tomogram were normal. A biopsy specimen was obtained for routine histopathological evaluation (Figure 2 and Figure 3). S100 protein immunolabeling is illustrated in Figure 4.What is your diagnosis?
