Case report demonstrates successful treatment of Wells syndrome in a young female, suggesting diagnosis in resistant cases.
A BSTRACT Wells syndrome, an uncommon inflammatory dermatosis, often presents as recurrent erythematous plaques, predominantly affecting the extremities. We report the case of a 26-year-old female patient who presented with recurrent erythematous plaques on her thigh, unresponsive to antibiotic treatment. Histopathological examination of a skin biopsy revealed eosinophilic dermal infiltration and flame figures, aiding diagnosis. Treatment with corticosteroids and dapsone led to complete resolution of the lesions without scarring. This case highlights the importance of considering uncommon diagnoses such as Wells syndrome when standard treatments fail, especially given its rarity and potential confusion with cellulitis.
