Keratolytic winter erythema with facial involvement: a novel presentation.
We present a 23-year-old woman with a diagnosis of keratolytic winter erythema (erythrokeratolysis hiemalis), who developed facial lesions following a traumatic experience. This rare genodermatosis usually affects the palms and soles, and appears as mild erythema and annular scaling. The limbs and trunk can rarely be affected. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of facial involvement.
