Eruptive hypomelanosis: an under-recognized viral exanthem

An otherwise healthy 8-year-old girl presented with a 2-week history of asymptomatic skin eruption. A week before the onset, she had experienced mild fever, sore throat, and coryza for which she received symptomatic treatment without any significant sequelae. History of similar complaints were also elicited in some of her school friends. The lesions were not associated with any atopic diathesis, preceding inflammatory dermatoses, drug intake, or suggestive systemic finding. On cutaneous examination, multiple discrete hypopigmented macules and patches of varying sizes (0.5 – 1.5 cms) without any surface change was seen to be distributed symmetrically involving the dorsal and ventral aspects of bilateral lower limbs.
