Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is an uncommon disorder that is transmitted in an autosomal recessive manner. It is characterized by increased susceptibility to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which presents with hypo- or hyperpigmented macular lesions, pityriasis versicolor-like lesions, and an early tendency to transform into skin cancer. We present a case of a 36-year-old female with complaints of asymptomatic, multiform lesions over the face, neck, chest, and upper arms. Histopathology was suggestive of EV, and our patient was given oral isotretinoin 20 mg/day and advised strict photoprotection.
