Abstract

Hydroa Vacciniforme (HV) is a rare, idiopathic acquired photodermatosis, with onset in childhood characterised by recurrent crops of vesiculopapular eruption that heal with varioliform scarring. The pathogenesis of HV remains unknown. Herein, we presented a case to highlight the importance of this condition as a mimicker of other photodermatosis.
