We report a 17-year old female admitted for a 4-year history of&nbsp;recurrent, extensive ulcerations with crusting and purulent discharge, involving the arms, legs, face, and back. Clinical&nbsp;presentation, slit skin smear and skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Lucio phenomenon and treatment with&nbsp;multidrug therapy resulted in resolution of the ulcerations.</div>
