| Abstract | Introduction: Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a group of chronic papulosquamous disorders manifesting hyperkeratotic follicular papules and forming salmon-colored plaques with white scales. It is a rare case worldwide even in Indonesia. Case Presentation: We report a case of circumscribed juvenile PRP in a four-year-old boy successfully treated with calcipotriol ointment. Conclusions: We treated the patient with 0.005% calcipotriol ointment every 12 h and an oral antihistamine. After 10 weeks, lesions were clinically improved. | en |
