ABSTRACT
Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (SSSS) is a disease primarily of young children, characterized by exfoliative dermatitis caused by exfoliative toxin producing Staphylococcus aureus. We had three cases of SSSS with varied dermatological manifestations-diffuse/scarlitiniform erythema, generalized exfoliation, sand paper skin texture, flaccid bullae, erosions, seborrheic dermatitis like scaling and cracking in skin creases which can be confused with other skin conditions. Hence, a high index of suspicion, early diagnosis and prompt treatment is imperative.
