title: [Eruptive epidermoid cysts secondary to erysipelas].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Eruptive epidermoid cysts often occur following bullous skin diseases and their histopathological origin is from follicular or eccrine structures.
  
  
  METHODS
  A case of a patient who developed eruptive epidermoid follicular cysts following an erysipelas without bullous lesions is reported. The lesions disappeared secondarily to a relapse of the cutaneous infection.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This association is rare but can be explained thinking to histogenesis of eruptive epidermoid cysts. The rapid resolution of these lesions occurring during a new inflammatory flare emphasize their tendency toward spontaneous resolution by extruding their contents.
