A case of pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta pemphigoides successfully treated with methotrexate and corticosteroids

Abstract

Pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) pemphigoides is an uncommon skin disease, which is characterized by the appearance of blistering skin lesions in patients with PLEVA. We present a 3‐year‐old boy, who was diagnosed with PLEVA pemphigoides. Combined treatment of oral methotrexate and corticosteroids was more effective than corticosteroids alone on this patient.
