    Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji in a Young Man
    Patel, Raj H.; Fagan, Kiley; Chitnavis, Padma V.; Grider, Douglas J. (Springer, 2023-03-23)
    Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji (PEO) is a rare skin disorder characterized by a distinctive pattern of pruritic, flat-topped, erythematous papules which coalesce into an erythroderma-like eruption with classic sparing of the skin folds. Although the pathogenesis of this condition is incompletely understood, previous reports have suggested a notable link between PEO and various forms of malignancy and immunocompromised states. Here, we report a case of a healthy young male with no comorbidities who presented with the classical features of PEO that responded well to combination therapy comprised of topical corticosteroids and phototherapy.
