Sebaceous adenitis, an idiopathic inflammation of the sebaceous gland, is a condition that is well described in animals but has been reported only thrice previously in humans. We present a series of 11 cases of sebaceous adenitis that presented as tender nodular lesions clinically similar to hidradenitis suppurativa, but was confined to the labia minora. All cases responded to tetracyclines and anti‐androgen therapy.
