RESUMO
Juvenile spring eruption is a photodermatosis characterized by the development of papules and vesicles on the light-exposed helix of the ears after sun exposure, usually in the springtime. It mainly affects boys and young male adults, and has a tendency to occur in the form of small epidemics. We report an outbreak in a group of soldiers who were performing military exercises during cold and sunny weather during a midwinter season. The clinicopathologic features and laboratory test results are described in two of these cases.
