Abstract
|
|
|
|
Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji isa rare and unique form of erythroderma and usually affects elderly Asian men. Various therapeutic approaches have been tried and both systemic corticosteroids and PUVA have been reported to be most effective. A 57-year-old man presented with itchy erythematous papules forming erythroderma that did not affect skin folds. His lesion did not respond to topical corticosteroids and antihistamines for 2 weeks. We used cyclosporine and topical tacrolimus. He completely recovered several days later and there has been no sign of recurrence for nearly 1 year.
