Paederus dermatitis is a peculiar contact dermatitis caused by pederine contained in the hemolimph of a small insect of the genus Paederus. It is characterized by vesico-pustulous eruption arising over an erythematous background, of sudden onset, over exposed areas of the body, and the history of outdoor activities. Diagnosis is based on the typical clinical features and the epidemiological context. The aim of this publication is to report a case and evaluate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of Paederus dermatitis.
