ABSTRACT

Asymmetric periflexural exanthema of childhood is a benign, self-limited, underdiagnosed disease of unknown etiology that mainly affects girls at preschool age. It has seasonal predominance (winter and spring). The diagnosis is clinical and is presented as scarlatinform, morbiliform or eczematous exanthem that generally begins in the axilla and centrifugally extends to the trunk and the homolateral upper limb. It may be accompanied with regional adenopathies and fever. It does not require specific treatment except for the use of moisturizing and antihistaminic creams in case of pruritus. Two patients with different forms of presentation, one typical and another unfrequent, were described.
