Introduction
Pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA), is a rare cutaneous inflammatory condition affecting the children and young adults,characterized by erythematous papules, vesicles , pustules, ulcers and mica-like scale that heals with varicella like scars. It mainly involves the trunk and proximal extremities with slight male predominance. 1
The etiology includes inflammatory reaction triggered by bacterial,viral or protozoal infection, immunizations, immune response secondary to T-cell dyscrasia and immune complex-mediated hypersensitivity.3
Histopathology of skin lesion is non specific. Diagnosis is mainly clinical,aided by dermoscopy. 1 Dermoscopic patterns in PLEVA include white‑colored structureless areas, a central crust, red globules, blue‑gray areas, and scalings.2 Hereby, we present a case of PLEVA with newer dermoscopic findings.
