Congenital annular erythema persisting in a 15-year-old girl.

We present a 15-year-old girl who has had a persisting extensive annular erythematous eruption since birth. Otherwise, she is healthy and developmentally normal. Multiple investigations throughout the years have been normal or negative. Numerous treatments have been tried, but with little success. Both clinical and histological examination fit no known classification. It is most consistent with annular erythema of infancy but could be the first reported case of a new entity. A review of other causes of annular erythema in infancy is presented.
