Abstract

Hydroa vacciniforme is a rare, idiopathic photodermatosis with an onset in childhood and characterized by acute vesiculation, crusting and scarring following sun exposure. Familial cases are extremely rare with only one previous report. We report a brother and sister, both of whom have developed hydroa vacciniforme.
