Erythema Annulare Centrifugum On The Face

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: A 57-year-old female presented with recurrent erythema on the face and right upper limb for over 8 years, with exacerbation noted in the past 2 months. Skin biopsy revealed partial epidermal keratinization, mild acanthosis with slight spongiosis, and dermal perivascular lymphocytic infiltration, leading to a diagnosis of erythema annulare centrifugum. The patient was treated with topical tacrolimus ointment, resulting in significant improvement within one week. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the clinical features associated with this condition. Early identification and intervention can provide relief and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from this chronic dermatological issue.
