Treatment Resistant Acneiform Eruption in a Young Female: A Diagnostic Pitfall.

Abstract

A 27-year-old female with no significant medical or dermatologic history presented with a persistent acneiform eruption on the face. The patient had been treated with multiple topical and systemic anti-acne treatments with no significant improvement over a period of two years. A punch biopsy was performed on the right cheek lesion showing dense lymphocytic infiltrates of the reticular dermis with peri- and intra-follicular distribution.
