Granuloma gluteale infantum/adultorum, pseudoverrucous papules, and Jacquet's erosive diaper dermatitis are fairly uncommon manifestations of irritant contact dermatitis historically thought to be distinct clinical entities. Here we report two informative cases of an erosive papulonodular dermatosis in the genital and suprapubic area associated with topical benzocaine. We review granuloma gluteale infantum, pseudoverrucous papules and nodules, and Jacquet's erosive diaper dermatitis, and propose that these disorders may all be variants of genitocrural irritant dermatitis.
