Abstract Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji (PEO) is a rare skin disorder characterized by a distinctive pattern of pruritic, flat-topped, erythematous papules which coalesce into an erythroderma-like eruption with classic sparing of the skin folds.

Here, we report a case of a healthy young male with no comorbidities who presented with the classical features of PEO that responded well to combination therapy comprised of topical corticosteroids and phototherapy.
