A case of infantile acne due to pityrosporum.
We report a case of infantile acne. The lesion on the forehead resembled infantile acne clinically, but histologically it contained yeasts of Pityrosporum. The lesion was treated with topical ketoconazole cream and improved. We suggest that Pityrosporum is associated with infantile acne.
