Eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells’ syndrome) is a rare condition of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. It is characterized by erythematous plaques and a histological picture of dermal eosinophilic infiltration with “flame figures”. The typical clinical presentation of eosinophilic cellulitis is mildly pruritic cellulite‐like plaques. Urticarial, vesiculo‐bullous, nodular and papulonodular variants were also reported. Herein, we describe a patient with annular and semicircular manifestations of eosinophilic cellulitis. It was treated successfully with low‐dose cyclosporine A treatment.
