Hydroa vacciniforme picture

Hydroa vacciniforme (HV) is a rare, chronic photodermatosis of unknown origin occurring in childhood. Recurrent vesicles on sun-exposed skin that heal with vacciniform or varioliform scarring characterize HV. The histopathologic features are distinctive and demonstrate intraepidermal reticular degeneration and cellular necrosis. Most cases remit spontaneously by late adolescence.
