A Case of Granulome Gluteale Infantum

Abstract
|
|
|
Granuloma gluteale infantum may be considered a complication of the primary irritant type of diaper dermatitis and a modern disease due to the change in the care of the napkin area. Most patients were infants who had worn plastic diapers and were
treated with fluorinated topical corticosteroid cream for their diaper dermatitis. The lesions comprise one or several, soft and reddish brown or livid purple nodules on the napkin area.
We report a typical case of granuloma gluteale infantum in a 13-month old female who had been treated with topical corticosteroid cream for her diaper dermatitis. The granuloma regressed spontaneously after withdrawl of the topical corticosteroid
and
restricted use of the occlusive plastic diaper. (Kor J Dermatol 1993 ; 31 (2) : 228-231)
