Response of Juvenile Circumscribed Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris to Topical Tazarotene Treatment

Abstract

We report juvenile circumscribed pityriasis rubra pilaris (type IV) in a 12-year-old Afghani girl in whom local therapy with tazarotene led to rapid, sustained remission. Tazarotene might be considered a useful treatment for circumscribed pityriasis rubra pilaris.
