A 7-year-old girl presented to the pediatric emergency department (ED) with leg lesions
for more than a year. The lesions started out as dusky, pruritic patches mainly on
the lower legs. After a course of triamcinolone ointment, she developed blisters on
the legs, arms, and trunk. She was then started on clindamycin by her primary care
physician due to concern for skin infection. After an evaluation by a dermatologist,
she was diagnosed with eczema and the clindamycin was discontinued. She then began
treatment with topical crisaborole ointment, monoclonal antibody ustekinumab (human
interleukin-12 and -23 antagonist), diphenhydramine, and continued topical steroid
ointments.
