Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma: A pediatric entity to keep in mind

Idiopathic aseptic granuloma of the face or cold pyoderma corresponds to a single, chronic, painless inflammatory nodule localized to the cheek, more rarely to the eyelid. We report the case of a child with a nodule of the face who was wrongly treated with antibiotics. The need for early diagnosis to avoid topical and/or systemic antibiotic treatment, which could lead to antibiotic resistance, especially as the duration of the disease does not appear to be shortened by the use of antibiotics.
