Abstract
Erythrokeratodermia variabilis is a rare genodermatosis; American authors have reported only 4 previous cases. It had been a problem to obtain a large pedigree for clinical investigation. A family with 12 involved members in 5 generations was reported. Symmetrically distributed migratory patches and scaling plaques are characteristic and were found to involute with a combination of keratolytic agents and topical steroids. Exacerbations of these patches and plaques were noted in female patients during such high estrogen states as pregnancy or oral contraceptive usage.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
