A 37-year-old man had erythema multiforme over a period of 20 years following recurrent herpes simplex infections. On the basis of the results of provocative UV-A tests as well as histological findings a diagnosis of photosensitive erythema multiforme was made. The erythema multiforme exsudativum like variant of polymorphous light eruption is discussed in the differential diagnosis.
