Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Erythrosis pigmentosa peribuccalis is an infrequent condition, with fewer than 35 cases reported in the literature, that affects mainly women. It presents as small papules that form a hyperpigmented plaque around the mouth and nose. Little is known about the etiology of this condition, its dermoscopic characteristics have not been described, and no effective treatment has been reported. We report a 15‐year‐old girl with this rare dermatosis who was successfully managed with daily calcipotriol, weekly topical ivermectin, and strict photoprotection. We also describe for the first time the dermoscopic findings of this entity.
