Abstract
- Milia are common benign keratinous cysts that occur most commonly on the face, particularly on the eyelids and cheeks. Primary milia arise spontaneously, and secondary milia may arise after clearing of inflammatory skin diseases and trauma. Multiple eruptive milia is a rare condition in which crops of milia develop suddenly on the face and upper trunk. Histologically, milia show cysts lined by stratified squamous epithelium containing laminated layers of keratin. We report a case of multiple eruptive milia on both external ears of 54-year-old woman.
