Observations:

Hydroa vacciniforme is rare photodermatitis usually beginning in the earlier years of life. We would like to report a 10-year-old male patient with complaints of depressed scars and blisters on the cheeks and ears. It was noted that the complaints increased in the summer and decreased in winter. Hydroa vacciniforme was diagnosed according to clinical and histopathological findings. The patient was prescribed wet dressings and topical antibiotics as local treatment and was instructed to use high factor sunscreen.
