Acquired perforating dermatosis. Treatment with allopurinol
Keywords:
Dermatoses, therapy, allopurinolAbstract
Perforating diseases include a variety of dermatoses characterized by the presence of transepidermal elimination. There are four classic perforating disorders and in the last years, the concept of acquired perforating dermatosis was introduced for any classic perforating dermatosis in association with diabetes and/or renal failure. We reported a case of acquired perforating dermatosis which showed clinical improvement after treatment with allopurinol.
