Chronic Eroded Perianal Plaque in a Patient with Limited Systemic Scleroderma.

A 58-year-old African-American woman presented with a variably painful perianal eruption for 5 years (Figure 1). Prior treatment with topical zinc oxide, oral fluconazole, and Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid resulted in no improvement. She denied chronic diarrhea or cutaneous blistering. Past medical history included limited scleroderma and autoimmune hemolytic anemia treated with daily azathioprine; however, the eruption preceded iatrogenic immunosuppression. Physical examination revealed a well-defined glistening red, ovoid focally eroded plaque involving the intergluteal cleft. The vulva was uninvolved. Oral mucosa was also clear.
