Description
Summary:We report two patients, mother and daughter, with Erythrokeratoderma variabilis (EV). This rare genodermatosis is characterized by the presence of two components: migratory erythema and fixed hyperkeratosis. Our patients experienced symptomatic relief of pruritus associated with erythema with the use of an oral, low‐sedating H1antihistamine. Revision of the literature in order to allocate the frequency of pruritus in EV and discussion of this association will follow.
