A series of 3 cases of acantholytic dermatosis localized to the male genitalia and perineal area with distinct clinical and histological features is presented. These patients did not have a family history of similar disorders and had no evidence of rash elsewhere. Clinically, the eruption was characterized by multiple discrete papules or macerated patches involving the genitalia and the perineum.

We agree with other authors that this condition may represent a distinct acantholytic eruption in the perineal area that should be distinguished from other generalized blistering acantholytic dyskeratotic disorders dial may also involve the genitali
