Abstract:
A 29-year-old man presented with well-demarcated brown-to-erythematous patches with scales on the perioral and periocular areas. We could not find any other systemic signs and symptoms, except for the cutaneous findings and no abnormal results were found on laboratory tests. Histologic examination showed upper dermal granulomatous infiltrate and led us consider the diagnosis of granulomatous periorificial dermatitis. After daily taking oral minocycline 200 mg with application of topical tacrolimus ointment for 8 weeks, combined with the application of topical tacrolimus ointment, the lesion showed a marked improvement without scarring.
