Abstract

Editor In the site of a healed skin disease, the development of a second dermatosis having no association with the previous one was first defined by Wyburn‐Mason in 1955. In early 1995, Wolf et al . named this condition as isotopic response. The first skin disease, in general, tends to be either herpes simplex or herpes zoster and it is viral. Although the second disease might vary, carcinoma, granuloma annulare, verruca, molluscum contagiosum or tinea are the most common ones. However, Sharma and Sharma reported two patients both of whom suffered from scrofuloderma as the primary disease and from herpes simplex as the secondary disease. Our study presents a 3‐year‐old child who developed molluscum contagiosum that developed in the healed site after a period of 9 months following a second‐degree burn caused by hot water. In the dermatological examination of the left side of the patient's chest ( fig. 1 ), flesh‐coloured, rounded, umbilicated, dome‐shaped multiple papules 2–3 mm in diameter, which contain a caseous plug, were detected. Neither the other areas of body, nor the other family members had similar lesions. The patient who had natural systemic examination showed no history of similar cutaneous findings. The results
