Abstract

We report a case of follicular mucinosis in a 12-year-old girl. She had an erythematous indurated plaque with an ill-defined border on the chin. A biopsy specimen showed reticular degeneration, cystic space formation, and abundant mucin deposition in pilosebaceous follicles. She had been treated with topical corticosteroid for 3 months. The skin lesion was completely resolved.
