Eruptive vellus hair cysts (EVHCs) are small, cystic papules that usually occur on the chest and proximal extremities of children and adults. The etiology is unknown. EVHCs of the eyelids have been reported infrequently. We describe a 13‐year‐old boy who presented with symptomatic EVHCs in a periorbital distribution.
