Acne agminata is a rare asymptomatic, inflammatory dermatosis, which affects adolescence and young adults, whose etiopathogenesis is already controversial. Clinically, acne agminata is characterized by red‐yellow‐brown papular‐pustular eruption involving the central face, in particular cheeks, chin, forehead, and eyelids. The authors report a case of a 25‐year‐old C aucasian man affected by acne agminata treated with doxycycline and isoniazid.
