title: Juvenile onset classical pityriasis rubra pilaris: every patient may not require systemic therapy.
abstract: Juvenile onset classical Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris (PRP), although rare, is the most common presentation of PRP in children. It has good prognosis and resolution over a few months. Use of potentially hazardous systemic drugs in a disease, that is likely to resolve spontaneously, needs to be assessed carefully. We report a 09 years old boy suffering from this rare disorder, whose disease is well under control with emollients and a combination of diluted topical steroids and keratolytics, for over 06 months.
