Summary The case of a 53‐year‐old man who developed chloracne, palmoplantar keratoderma and scleroderma after many years of exposure to a variety of chloracnegens is reported. Chloracne is a rare but important acneiform eruption associated with exposure to halogenated aromatic compounds used primarily in agriculture. However, to our knowledge, the association of palmoplantar keratoderma and scleroderma with exposure to chloracnegens has not been previously reported.
