Abstract
Regarding childhood leprosy, lack of well-defined clinical signs in children make this section of population highly vulnerable for late diagnosis and leading to disabilities and complications. Prevalence of Hansen’s disease has increased since the last decade with many atypical presentations, which make it difficult to diagnose. We are presenting a case of 13-year-old male with Hansen’s disease where anaesthetic plaques were associated with multiple comedones over them resulting into an unusual presentation.
