Abstract
- Erythema annulare centrifugum is an inflammatory skin disorder of unknown etiology characterized by erythematous urticarial papules that enlarge in a centrifugal pattern to form annular appearance. These lesions are usually asymptomatic. Erythema annulare centrifugum generally tends to be a chronic condition. It develops most frequently in adults between 30 and 50 years of life, and only a few infantile cases have been reported in the English literature. Herein, we present an additional case of infantile erythema annulare centrifugum with a review of the literature.
