| Abstract: | Hydroa Vaciniforme is a very rare photodermatosis that is mainly seen in childhood.
An 18 year old female student reported that since the age of 5 she has been suffering
necrotic lesions and vesicles lesions in exposed areas, leaving asymptomatic
varioliform scars, which worsened in summer. Light microscopy showed epidermal
necrosis with lymphocytic infiltration. Sunscreens were prescribed with light
improvement. |
