INTERVENTIONS: After the diagnosis was confirmed, the patient was treated with oral doxycycline (100 mg) and prednisone (12 mg) once daily. OUTCOMES: Follow-up at 1 month showed significant improvement in facial rash and regrowth of both eyebrows. LESSONS: This report describes an atypical case of LMDF complicated by eyebrow loss, providing insights into the rarity and pathogenesis of this condition.
