    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Dermatopathology

    Background:

    • Acne aestivalis is a rare facial eruption primarily affecting adult women.
    • This condition presents as an acneiform eruption during summer months.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the first known case of acne aestivalis in the United States.
    • To describe the clinical and histopathologic features of this rare dermatosis.

    Main Methods:

    • A case study of a woman with a recurrent summer acneiform eruption.
    • Histopathologic examination of skin lesions.
    • Clinical observation of treatment response.

    Main Results:

    • The patient presented with a recurrent acneiform eruption during summer.
    • Histopathology showed follicular epithelium necrosis and comedo formation, similar to steroid acne.
  • No specific etiology was identified.

    • Conclusions:

    • Acne aestivalis is a distinct clinical entity that can occur in the United States.
    • The histopathologic findings suggest a potential link or similarity to steroid-induced acne.
    • Topical tretinoin is an effective treatment for acne aestivalis.
