RESUMO
The occurrence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is a frequent and potentially serious complication in people with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and junctional epidermolysis bullosa with chronic leg sores. Early diagnosis of early-stage carcinomas enables limited surgical excision and rapid healing without sequelae. Screening during skin care of patients at risk is therefore of major interest, and any atypical lesion should be shown to a doctor specializing in the disease and biopsied at the slightest doubt, preferably in an expert center for the disease.

Valsalva purpura refers to purpura resulting from performing the Valsalva maneuver, a forced expiratory effort against a closed glottis. There are limited reported cases of Valsalva purpura in children, specifically on the cheeks. We present the case of a 7-year-old child who developed Valsalva purpura on his cheeks after performing the Valsalva maneuver during deep breathing exercises by holding his breath underwater during his swimming sessions. This article overviews the relationship between the Valsalva maneuver, purpura, and similar cases.
