Abstract:
Childhood granulomatous periorificial dermatitis (CGPD) is a distinctive granulomatous form of perioral dermatitis. It is characterized by papular eruptions located around the mouth, nose, and eyes, and rarely present eczematous patches or plaques. Histopathologic examination shows upper dermal and perifollicular granulomatous infiltrates. Herein, we report two cases of CGPD that were presented with erythematous plaques. One patient was treated with 0.03% topical tacrolimus and the other patient with oral metronidazole. The patients responded well to their respective therapies, showing resolution of the lesions.
