Abstract
Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is an uncommon papulosquamous disorder, first described in 1835 by Claudia’s Tarral1 which is characterized by the presence of follicular papules on an erythematous base and orange-red plaques with islands of sparing. Six main types of PRP are described with classic adult being the most commonly seen variant. PRP can be associated with infections, autoimmunity, malignancies, drugs, etc. However, most cases are idiopathic.
