Abstract
We report a case of the appearance of dark pigmented skin on the plantar surface of the foot and toes in a young child, likely caused by the beetle Carabus impressus. Few such documented cases occur in the literature and none reported from our region. Identifying the cause is important to avoid unnecessary investigations and treatment, and to provide reassurance to patients.
