Abstract:
We present a 15-year-old girl who has had a persisting extensive annular erythematous eruption since birth. Otherwise, she is healthy and developmentally normal. Multiple investigations throughout the years have been normal or negative. Numerous treatments have been tried, but with little success. Both clinical and histological examination fit no known classification. It is most consistent with annular erythema of infancy but could be the first reported case of a new entity. A review of other causes of annular erythema in infancy is presented.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
