Two cases of a 58-year-old man and a 73-year-old man developing eczematous lesions contaminated with fungi on the entire surface of their bodies are reported. They had mild serum hyper IgE. The spread of their skin lesions was cured with glyteer (soybean tar) ointment containing 0.1% dexamethasone. The relationship between senile erythroderma with serum hyper IgE, atopic dermatitis and this disorder remains to be fully understood.
