Pityriasis rubra pilaris, type 1.

Abstract
A 57-year-old woman presented with a history of dry skin with an associated sensation of burning and itching. It had been previously diagnosed as psoriasis. Clinical and histopathologic examination were consistent with pityriasis rubra pilaris, and treatment consisted of acitretin and narrow-band ultraviolet B phototherapy. Pityriasis rubra pilaris is a papulosquamous disorder of unknown etiology, which can be treated with retinoids, methotrexate, cyclosporine, and narrow-band phototherapy.
