ABSTRACT
Transient acantholytic dermatosis, or Grover's disease, usually appears as pruritic erythematous papules and vesicles on the trunk in middle-aged men. The pathogenesis remains unclear, though sun exposure, heat, and sweating may be aggravating factors. A 58-year-old male visited our clinic for evaluation of an asymptomatic erythematous patch on the left temple that developed 40 years ago. Here, we report the rare case of Grover's disease with atypical features presenting as one large patch on the face.
