Abstract:
Eruptive vellus hair cysts(EVHCs) are small, red or brown colored cystic papules that usually occur on the chest and proximal extremities of children and adults. Although EVHCs, facial variant, is rare and chracteristic in its location and color, histopathological findings of facial variant are not different from those of typical EVHC. We report a case of EVHC, facial variant which occured on the face of 23-year-old man with asymptomatic, bluish papules. The lesions first appeared at the age of 19 years and had increased in number thereafter.
