Abstract:
Erythema elevatum diutinum(EED) is a rare chronic skin disease characterized by red, purple, and yellowish papules, plaques, and nodules that are usually distributed acrally and symmetrically over extensor surface. It is characterized histologically by a leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Although no treatment has shown a complete response, dapsone is reported to be effective to EED. We report a rare severe case of EED with good response to dapsone treatment.
