Core Tip	Immunoglobulin A (IgA) vasculitis, rare in black children, can be missed when classic purpura is subtle on dark skin. Early triad recognition—palpable rash, arthralgia, abdominal pain—and prompt supportive care secure rapid recovery. This case describes an 11-year-old Black girl with classic systemic features—palpable purpura, abdominal pain, and arthritis—but with atypical dermatologic presentation due to skin pigmentation. The report underscores the diagnostic challenges of identifying vasculitic rashes in darker skin and highlights the need for inclusive dermatologic education and region-specific research on IgA vasculitis presentation and outcomes in African children.
