Paederus dermatitis is a peculiar irritant dermatitis characterised by appearance of vesicles, bulla and pustules on erythematous base. The disease is provoked by an insect belonging to the genus Paederus. The beetle does not bite or sting, but brushing or crushing the beetle over the skin provokes the release of hemolymph which contains paederin, a potent vesicant agent. We report a case of extensive involvement of the skin by Paederus that mimicked varicella minor.
