Acitretin for erythrokeratodermia variabilis in a 9-year-old girl.
Erythrokeratodermia variabilis (EKV) is a rare genodermatosis with a unique phenotype. Treatment with oral synthetic retinoids is well documented in adults, but not in children. We report a 9-year-old girl with EKV who cleared rapidly following treatment with oral acitretin.
