    AbstractJuvenile spring eruption is a sun-related skin eruption primarily affecting boys or young adult males. The pathophysiology is unknown, but there appears to be a link with sun exposure in cold weather. It can cause small outbreaks, particularly in groups of children or young adults. The primary lesions can be pruritic erythema, with or without associated papules, vesicles, or bullae. They are notable for almost exclusively affecting the ears. Spontaneous healing occurs within a few days without leaving scars. We report an outbreak and 2 sporadic cases that occurred at the Valdahon military camp in France between 2021 and 2024 among military personnel.© The Association of Military Surgeons of the United States 2024.
