Abstract
Acrodermatitis enteropathica (AE) is a rare genetic autosomal recessive disorder of zinc deficiency which manifests in infancy with triad of peri-orificial skin rash, alopecia, and diarrhea. We report the case of an 8-month-old infant with dermatological features of AE being managed as a case of candidial-intertrigo and diaper dermatitis who showed excellent response to oral zinc.
