Juvenile Spring Eruption in 4 Male Family Members over 3 Generations: A Case Report

Juvenile Spring Eruption (JSE) is a unique localised photodermatoses characterised by the development of a papulovesicular rash on the helices of the ears of young boys. This condition typically occurs after sun exposure in the springtime and is considered a variant of polymorphic light eruption. It receives scant attention in the dermatology literature and is likely to be underreported. In addition, the heritability of JSE has yet to be established. Here, we describe the case of a ten-year-old patient with JSE who has three male family members with the same condition, spanning three generations.
