It is a dermatosis characterized by a triad of clinical findings consisted of follicular papules occurring on the neck and face, erythema with marked borders and hyperpigmentation, and occasionally is accompanied by pilar keratosis on the arms. We decided to report the present case because she was followed up for a long period of time with a misdiagnosis of atopic dermatitis.

Özet
Eritromelanosis folikülaris fasiyei et kolli sebebi bilinmeyen, karakteristik olarak daha çok adölesan erkeklerde ortaya çıkan az rastlanan bir hastalıktır. Hastaların boyun ve yüzünde ortaya çıkan foliküler papüller, sınırları belirgin eritem ve hiperpigmentasyondan oluşan klinik bulgu üçlüsü ile karakterize, bazen de kollarda pilar keratozun eşlik ettiği bir dermatozdur. Hastamızın uzun süre yanlış olarak atopik dermatit tanısı ile izlenmiş olması, çok erken yaşda başlamış olması, benzer rahatsızlığın anneannede ve halada da olması nedenleriyle bu olguyu sunmayı uygun gördük.
