A 59-year-old woman presented with multiple translucent papules on the inner surface of the tragus of the right ear. Initially they were treated with cryotherapy, with a later biopsy revealing the diagnosis of colloid milium. The histology was unusual for adult colloid milium as the lesion lacked a Grenz zone and evidence of solar elastosis. This together with a lack of aetiological factors made it difficult to classify the subtype of colloid milium.

Article Synopsis
- Colloid milium is a rare skin condition that causes painless, dome-shaped, waxy yellowish or skin-colored bumps, often seen on sun-exposed areas like the face and arms.
- It can be confused with nodular amyloidosis and primary systemic amyloidosis, which have similar clinical and histological traits; the latter is especially noted for causing purpura after minor injuries.
- This report describes a case of adult colloid milium featuring these waxy bumps and purpura on the lower forearms and hands, confirmed through detailed pathological testing.
