A case of eruptive milia

Abstract

A 68-year-old woman presented with a 10-year history of multiple milia on her scalp. Spontaneous eruptive milia are uncommon and the term describes cases that are more extensive in number and distribution than would be expected in primary milia.

Multiple eruptive milia on scalp

“…To the best of our knowledge, 16 MEM cases have been reported to date in English literature. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] MEM are most commonly seen on the head, neck and trunk. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Our patient's lesions developed on the scalp, which is a rare involvement area for MEM.…”

“…MEM may affect both sex and occur at any age (2 months-96 years). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Concurrent disorders such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, acne and carcinomas have been reported in a few cases with MEM 5,6,8,9,11 (Table 1). Our case did not have any associated disease.…”
