Gianotti-Crosti syndrome following milkers' nodules.
Gianotti-Crosti syndrome (GCS), or papular acrodermatitis of childhood, is a distinctive self-limiting rash with symmetrically distributed papules on the face, buttocks, and extremities that has been related to several underlying viral diseases. We report a case of a boy exhibiting involutive lesions of milkers' nodules who subsequently developed a rash with the clinical features of GCS. The temporal relationship suggested the possibility of a causal association.
