ABSTRACT
Hydroa vacciniforme [HV] is a rare photosensitivity disorder with onset in childhood. Recurrent vesicles, bullae and crusting occur on sun-exposed skin that heals with vacciniform scarring. This rare disorder is hereby reported in an adolescent girl who developed a severe episode of hydroa vacciniforme on a hot sunny day during harvesting season. She had repeated episodes afterwards in succession until she was appropriately sun-screened. Her lesions healed without scarring because of early reporting, short-lived episodes, early diagnosis and response to appropriate therapy
