We present a case of widespread reactive perforating collagenosis in a 63‐year‐old woman undergoing haemodialysis after diabetic nephropathy, who was treated successfully with allopurinol. The patient responded well and rapidly to a dose of 100 mg allopurinol daily. It is suggested that more patients with reactive perforating collagenosis may benefit from allopurinol therapy.
