A Photo Quiz to Hone Dermatologic Skills 

Case 2: How would you treat this pruritic eruption that resists topical corticosteroids?

By DAVID L. KAPLAN, MD—Series Editor
University of Missouri Kansas City, University of Kansas | July 6, 2009
Dr Kaplan is clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Medicine and at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. He practices adult and pediatric dermatology in Overland Park, Kan.

For the past year, a 15-year-old boy has had a pruritic eruption on his shins. His mother suspects that his soccer shin guards are the cause; however, he wears them over his socks. Topical corticosteroids have not been effective.

The patient has a family history of seasonal allergies.
