Abstract

Polymorphous light eruption is a common, idiopathic photosensitivity dermatosis. It is characterized with non-scarring pruritic erythematous papules, vesicles or plaques that occur after ultraviolet exposure on light-exposed skin areas.

In this study, we introduce a case with erythema multiforme-like rash whose symptoms has started in 3 years old. This case found worthy to be presented owing to the onset of the attacks at a very early age and rarity.
