J Am Acad Dermatol. 1988 Feb;18(2 Pt 2):437-40. doi: 10.1016/s0190-9622(88)70065-1.

Abstract

Ulerythema ophryogenes, a rare dermatologic disorder characterized by inflammatory keratotic facial papules that may result in scars, atrophy, and alopecia, can occur in association with other congenital anomalies. A case reported here was accompanied by an unusual facies, developmental delay, central nervous system abnormalities, dental anomalies, and undescended testes. There was no response of the cutaneous lesions to topical keratolytics, topical tretinoin, or a short course of oral isotretinoin.
