Summary Pyoderma faciale (PF) is a sudden severe eruption of pustules and cystic swellings which may be interconnected by sinuses. It affects mainly adult women. We report the case of a 21‐year‐old woman presenting with sudden onset of coalescing nodules and abscesses on the face, with mild systemic disturbance. She also had erythema nodosum (EN)‐like lesions on the legs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of PF associated with EN.
