Erythematous scaling lesions of the face, dorsal fingers, elbows, and knees together with symmetrical muscle weakness in a child

Abstract

Abstract Juvenile dermatomyositis shows characteristic skin lesions. However, this does not rule out co‐occurring other autoimmune diseases, which may be more prominent regarding skin manifestations. Co‐occurring other skin autoimmune diseases should not be regarded as a preclusion for dermatomyositis. Here, we present an impressing case of juvenile dermatomyositis with co‐occurring psoriasis.
