Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma in a two-year old boy: A case report

Abstract

Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma is a chronic, benign, and painless facial nodule occurring exclusively in childhood. A case of idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma located on the right cheek of a 2.3-year old boy is described. Repeated assessment of the skin, using a skin pressurization method, revealed no Demodex spp. parasites. Good progress was made after a long treatment with 1% metronidazole cream.
