We present three Chinese male patients with similar complaints of recurrent episodes of vesicles, blisters, erosion/ulcers predominantly on sun-exposed areas. They were diagnosed as having porphyria cutanea tarda after a clinical investigation. Of note, all patients had a history of alcohol abuse with or without apparent liver function damage.
