Abstract

We herein describe a 68-year-old man with follicular mucinosis. A dermoscopic examination showed multiple, round, brownish yellow dots with a whitish rim in the follicular ostium and red dots in the interfollicular area. This case report is the first to suggest that follicular mucinosis shows these dermoscopic findings.

Keywords: dermatology.
