We herein report a 39-year-old woman presented with annular plaque with central clearing on the back, extremities, and breasts. The lesions had raised, firm erythematous borders included a trailing scale. On histologic examination, a perivascular inflammatory cell infiltrate composed of neutrophils and mononuclear inflammatory cells in the upper dermis was shown. We consider our case to represent idiopathic figurate erythema with a dominant infiltration of neutrophils.

Erythema papulatum centrifugum (EPC), also known as erythema papulosa semicircularis recidivans, is a rare dermatological condition characterized by single or multiple annular or semi-annular centrifugally growing lesions surrounded by tiny erythematous papules typically observed on the trunk. EPC is prevalent, particularly in Japan and China, although only a few cases have been reported outside Asia. Herein, we present the case of a 47-year-old female from Thailand who experienced a pruritic annular erythematous rash on her right arm for two months.

Article Synopsis
- - Neutrophilic figurate erythema (NFE) is a rare skin condition that resembles erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC) but is characterized by a neutrophil-dominated inflammatory response in the skin.
- - A case study of a 32-year-old military male showed a chronic skin rash that started five years ago, resistant to multiple antifungal treatments, with no identifiable triggers or improvement post-deployment.
- - Diagnosis of NFE can be challenging due to its rarity, with only 15 known cases, and it may require specific treatment focusing on anti-neutrophil therapy rather than standard antifungal options.
