Recurrent staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome in a 20‐month old—A case report

We present a case of a 20‐month‐old child with a history of atopic dermatitis that exhibited recurrent erythematous‐bullous lesions consistent with Staphylococcal Scalded Skin syndrome (SSSS). SSSS is an exfoliative toxin‐mediated skin disorder most commonly found in children. In this paper, we discuss the importance of recognizing the clinical symptomatology and progressive nature of SSSS, particularly in patients with a history of atopic dermatitis, to ensure prompt treatment and resolution of the syndrome.
