Eruptive Pruritic Papular Porokeratosis in a 77-Year-Old Male: A Rare Case

Eruptive pruritic papular porokeratosis (EPPP) is a rare inflammatory variant of disseminated superficial porokeratosis characterized by the sudden onset of pruritic papules, primarily affecting the extremities and trunk. We present the case of a 77-year-old male who developed EPPP without any underlying malignancy or immunosuppression. Histopathology confirmed EPPP, and the patient underwent treatment with topical lovastatin 2% ointment, followed by topical calcipotriene. This report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, therapeutic interventions, and emerging insights into the management of this uncommon condition.
