Summary Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli was first described by Kitamura and colleagues in 1960 1 . However, the condition has only rarely been reported in Caucasians. This syndrome, of unknown aetiology, characteristically occurs in adolescent males and is asymptomatic. We report a case of erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli in a 15‐year‐old male patient. The histological features and differential diagnosis are discussed.
