Pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) is a rare, self-limited, cutaneous disorder of unknown etiology. Clinically, PLEVA is characterized by the sudden onset of scaly, erythematous macules and papules localized to the trunk and proximal extremities. We report the case of a patient who presented with multiple erythematous papules and plaques on the palms, forearms, and dorsal feet.
