Abstract

A 15 year old boy presented with sudden onset of pompholyx like eruption on acral areas involving
bilateral hands and feet for 2 weeks. Clinical examination showed multiple vesicubullous eruptions on
dorsum of bilateral foot, dorsum of hands. There was a focus of intertriginous dermatitis involving right
lateral toe cleft with maceration and fissuring. A scraping from the lesion demonstrated fungal hyphae with
10% KOH preparation but not from the vesicular eruption. A diagnosis of Id reaction due to Tinea Pedis
was made. Patient was started on topical and oral antifungal along with antihistamines and he responded
well with the treatment.
