Papulovesicular eruption located on the face and extremities in a child

Abstract

A 14-month-old male child presented to our outpatient clinic with pruritic vesicles that had started a month ago, first on the face and then on the hands and feet. With detailed history obtained from his mother we learned that he had had similar complaints in the newborn period, during the last summer, and again during the spring of the present year. She said that his lesions had healed on each occasion, leaving white spots. The family history was negative for photosensitivity.
