Abstract :

PityriasisRosea(PR)  is a common acute, self–limited papulosquamous disorder that favours otherwise healthy adolescents and young adults.  A 13 year old boy presented with a cutaneous vesicular eruptions over palms followed by its extention over other parts of trunk and extremities of 2 weeks duration. A provisional diagnosis of extensive pityriasisrosea, pityriasislichenoid et varioliformisacuta(PLEVA) and drug eruption was made. Skin biopsy revealed features consistent with vesicular pityrisisrosea. Patient was given oral prednisolone which resulted in resolution of lesions. There are a paucity of reports of vesicular pityriasisrosea with palmar involvement.
