We report a case of pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia ( PEH ) in a 55‐year‐old woman following allergic contact dermatitis ( ACD ) to G revillea R obyn G ordon. We believe this to be the first reported case of PEH secondary to ACD , and postulate that this was an exaggerated response to severe ACD as a result of a lack of topical treatment.
