A 9-year-old girl with a known glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency presented with a recurring, pruritic skin eruption on her extremities. The eruption consisted of red, raised lesions that lasted for 3-5 days and resolved with hyperpigmentation but no scarring. The patient reported photosensitivity but no other symptoms. Laboratory investigations and autoimmune workup were unremarkable. A punch skin biopsy revealed a diagnosis of lupus erythematosus tumidus, characterized by a dense lymphocytic infiltrate and mild interstitial mucin deposition in the dermis.
