%X Childhood granulomatous periorificial dermatitis(CGPD) is a facial rash, affecting the periorificial area in children. We present the case of 7-year-old child, presented with an asymptomatic papular eruption on the face since one year. On physical examination he had numerous monomorphic erythematous papules ranging from 1 to 3 mm in diameter clustered around his perioral region predominantly with sparse papules on his periocular and perinasal regions. A skin biopsy of a perioral papule was performed showing a dense granulomatous infiltrate located around the hair follicles in the deep and superficial dermis composed of epithelioid cells, histiocytes and lymphocytes without caseation necrosis. The patient was treated with erythromycin 500 mg with emollients and his papular eruption resolved. After one year of follow-up, there was no relapse.
