    Pruritic Papular Eruption (PPE) is a skin condition characterized by the appearance of small, itchy bumps (papules) on the skin. It is commonly seen in individuals with HIV/AIDS but can also occur in other contexts. The exact cause is not well understood, but it is thought to be related to immune system dysfunction. Treatment typically involves managing the underlying condition and using topical or systemic medications to alleviate itching and inflammation.
