Abstract
A case of follicular mucinosis is being reported. Clinically, the patient had discrete follicular and non-follicular papules on the face, neck and arms. Light microscopy confirmed the follicular outer root sheath, and sebaceous gland epithelial degenerative changes. The infiltrating inflammatory cells were morphologically benign. The response to oral dapsone therapy is highlighted.
Keywords: Follicular mucinosis, Dapsone
