Comments

This healthy 4-year-old girl developed a chronic and recurrent pruritic papular eruption on exposed areas particularly the legs 6 months ago. The lesions began as edematous red papules many with a central vesicle. Scratching led to central crusting and hypopigmentation with a surrounding hyperpigmented ring.
