Erythrokeratoderma - a manifestation associated with multiple types of ichthyoses with different gene defects

Erythrokeratoderma (OMIM #133200) refers to a group of closely related disorders of cornification manifesting with hyperkeratotic, often transient and migratory, erythematous figurate plaques with sharply demarcated borders that typically develop in early childhood with or without palmoplantar involvement.¹ Erythrokeratodermas have been historically classified into the two main categories: (a) erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva (EKVP, also known as erythrokeratoderma figurata variabilis and Mendes da Costa disease), and (b) progressive symmetric erythrokeratoderma (PSEK, also known as Gottron syndrome).
