Porokeratosis encompass a group of acquired and familial, preneoplastic, keratinization disorders, clinically characterized by atrophic macules or patches with a peripheral keratotic rim, the cornoid lamella. Genetic background is recognized as crucial in its pathophysiology, while immunosuppression and ultraviolet radiation represent triggering factors. We report the case of a woman who developed disseminate superficial actinic porokeratosis following the intake of hydroxyurea for a polycythaemia vera. Clinical, dermoscopic and histopathology data are showed, and the role of drug as a second‐hit mutation trigger is discussed.
