Abstract

The article discusses the case study of the 51-year-old man with history of inflammation of his nose and later complained about itchy rash on his chest, arms and back, consisting of erythematous papules with a surrounding collarette of scale. A skin biopsy from the nose showed loss of the superficial epidermis, and the chest epidermis was intact with clefting in the granular layer diagnosed with pemphigus foliaceous.
