Dermatomyositis is a common autoimmune disorder classified as idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. This predominantly affects the adults and is characterized by both cutaneous and muscle involvement. The characteristic cutaneous feature of this condition includes photosensitivity and the presence of heliotrope erythema and Gottron’s patches. A number of uncommon cutaneous manifestations have been reported worldwide. We report a case of dermatomyositis presenting as erythroderma. |
