Abstract
- Milia en plaque(MEP) is an unusual eruption characterized by multiple milia-like lesions within an erythematous edematous plaque in the retroauricular area. The histopathological findings are consistent with milia. We report a case of MEP occurring on the bilateral retroauricular area and occipital scalp. To our knowledge, a case which has developed on the scalp has not been reported previously. The absence of a known etiologic factor in contrast to the previously published causes suggests that the present case belongs to the group of primary milia.
