Abstract
A 15-year-old girl presented with multiple, persistent hyperkeratotic plaques symmetrically distributed over the extensor surfaces of the extremities and the buttock since 4 years old. There was a strong family history. Her condition markedly improved with topical vitamin D analogue and steroid cream. The clinical presentation, pathogenesis and management of erythrokeratoderma are discussed.
