Key Clinical Message Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli ( EFFC ) is a distinct, rare, and underdiagnosed condition of unknown etiology that is characterized by well‐demarcated erythema, hyperpigmentation, and follicular papules. The pigmentation is usually on both maxillary, preauricular regions, and the cheeks. We report a case of a 12‐year‐old boy with EFFC that was associated with reticulated pigmentation of the extremities.
