Abstract

An asymptomatic reticular erythema associated with myriads of monomorphous micropapules developed in a symmetric distribution concentrated on the inner aspects of both arms and both legs of a 15-year-old girl. Skin biopsy specimens revealed cornoid lamellae within multiple appendageal ostia and focal lymphocytic inflammation in the papillary dermis. Reticular erythema with ostial porokeratosis is one of an increasing number of clinical presentations of punctate porokeratosis that lack a classic marginated rim.
