description | Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a rare papulosquamous skin disorder that often presents with erythematous follicular-based hyperkeratotic papules that can become confluent and lead to erythroderma and electrolyte and thermoregulatory imbalances resulting from increased tissue perfusion and skin barrier breakdown. Due to this condition being uncommon, many specialties outside of dermatology are unfamiliar with this entity which poses unique diagnostic and management challenges. This case report involves a 55-year-old woman who presented to the emergency room with erythroderma secondary to PRP. It highlights the relevance of PRP in the context of in-hospital management by presenting the patient’s clinical profile, diagnostic workup, and treatment plan. By emphasizing the distinctive clinical features and natural course of the disease, this report aims to enhance the understanding of this uncommon inflammatory skin condition. |
