title: Annular facial dermatoses in blacks.
abstract: Annular facial dermatoses in blacks are common. Although the diagnosis of these dermatoses is usually made without difficulty, occasionally problems are encountered. A patient with annular seborrheic dermatitis that closely resembled the annular lesions of secondary syphilis is presented. The differential diagnosis of annular facial lesions in the black patient is then briefly reviewed.
