Abstract
Step aerobic classes are at present one of the most popular forms of e xercise undertaken by young adults. To date no dermatological abnormal ities have been described in people regularly performing step aerobics . We describe a case in which a healthy young woman developed an exten sive pigmented purpuric eruption 4 weeks after commencing regular step aerobic classes. The eruption resolved completely 8 weeks after regul ar exercise was ceased.
