Parvovirus B19 is the most common causative agent of papular‐purpuric gloves and socks syndrome (PPGSS), an often‐underreported condition in the pediatric population. Classically, PPGSS presents with a papular‐purpuric and at times petechial eruption of the hands and feet. ( Dermatology . 1994;188:85; Int J Dermatol . 1996;35:626) We report a unique variant of juvenile PPGSS with prominent involvement of the flexural and extensor elbows, wrists, and knees.
