Abstract

|
|
Childhood granulomatous periorificial dermatitis (CGPD) is a benign facial eruption of unknown etiology characterized by a monomorphic papular eruption occurring in the perinasal, perioral, and periocular areas. We report an 11-year-old boy with characteristic features of CGPD. He presented with a 4-month history of non-pruritic, papular eruptions on the face. The histopathologic exam revealed an upper dermal granuloma with surrounding lymphocytes. Treatment was initiated with tetracycline 500 mg/day, but there was no response for 3 weeks. We tried 0.03% topical tacrolimus to treat recalcitrant skin lesions. After 10 weeks of treatment, the lesions resolved without scarring.
