“…The most accepted one places IFAG within the clinical spectrum of childhood rosacea. In addition to similar histopathological findings, IFAG is often associated with chalazion and other ocular rosacea lesions 2–6 . Different theories explain that IFAG can result from a granulomatous reaction to a persistent embryological remnant in the dermis or from a reactive response to an insect bite or trauma 2,4–6 .…”

A two-year-old boy presented at our dermatology department with a two-month history of an asymptomatic bluish plaque in the infraorbital region. He had a previous history of keratosis pilaris on his face, arms, and legs and was hospitalized for bronchiolitis at 1 month of age.Dermatological examination revealed a firm nodule with 1 cm in diameter and bluish-violaceous coloration (Figure 1). The lesion was painless to palpation and had a normal body temperature. The child was otherwise healthy and had no other symptoms.An emollient and tacrolimus 0.1% ointment were prescribed and applied once a day for one month with no improvement. The nodule maintained its consistency and color, reaching a maximum size of one and a half centimeters. Two months later, he had a respiratory infection and was treated with oral azithromycin 10 mg/kg daily for 3 days. There was an improvement in the initial nodule, with progressive flattening and a decrease in size to 1 cm 2 weeks later. Oral azithromycin 10 mg/kg 3 days per week was pre-
