Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli.

Abstract

Erythromelanosis follicularis of the face and neck has seldom been described in the literature. It is a condition of unknown aetiology. The clinical features are reddish-brown pigmentation, telangiectatic vessels, and pale follicular papules localized in the peri-auricular area. The disease is asymptomatic and has only been described in men. This report records two patients with erythromelanosis follicularis of the face and neck, a boy and a young adult female.
