Hydroa vacciniforme is a rare idiopathic photodermatosis with a chronic relapsing course, especially during the summer months beginning in childhood, to disappear into adolescence. It is characterized by the repeated occurrence of papulovesicles covered by hematic scabs on the photo exposed skin, that leave permanent varioliform scars. A classic benign presentation and another severe and malignant form with lymphocytic infiltration are described.
