ABSTRACT

We present a prurigo pigmentosa patient with hepatitis C infection. We used topical tetracycline and, both symptoms and lesions improved. Topical tetracycline might be an alternative treatment option in patients systemic treatment is not suitable. To our knowledge, there is no report about a prurigo pigmentosa case treated with topical tetracycline in English literature. More patient reports will contribute the efficacy of this treatment modality.
