Abstract
- Malassezia folliculitis is characterized by pruritic follicular papules and pustules by Malassezia which are inhabitants of normal skin. We report a case of Malassezia folliculitis in a 12-month-old female, with a history of liver cirrhosis due to congenital biliary atresia. She presented with erythematous papules and pustules on the face 4 months ago. The diagnosis of Malassezia folliculitis was established by Parker ink-KOH direct microscopy. The lesions were successfully treated with topical ketoconazole cream for 2 weeks.
