Abstract
- Milia are small, white to yellow, benign, superficial keratinous cysts. They are divided into primary or secondary cysts. Secondary milia are associated with disease, medication, and trauma. We report a case of a 45 year-old woman with grouped yellowish papules and brownish patches on her left ankle after bullous cellulitis. This case shows that bullous cellulitis may be one of the causes of secondary milia.
