Abstract

We report a case of localized granuloma annulare, successfully treated with isotretinoin, which occurred as a consequence of waxing-induced pseudofolliculitis. To our knowledge this is the first reported clearance of localized granuloma annulare with isotretinoin and the first reported case of granuloma annulare as a sequel to pseudofolliculitis.
