Background: Lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei (LMDF) is a chronic, granulomatous inflammatory disorder, commonly localized to the face.
Objective: To present an unusual manifestation of LMDF and review the literature.
Methods: We document a 41-year-old woman with LMDF with isolated axillary involvement. A literature review was conducted using Pubmed, Medline, Embase, and Google Scholar for similar cases using search terms lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei, LMDF, acne agminata, and acnitis.
Results: Extrafacial LMDF without concomitant facial involvement is rare; there has been only 1 other report of LMDF with exclusive axillary involvement to date. In addition, we report the successful use of doxycycline monohydrate combined with topical tacrolimus in the treatment of LMDF.
Conclusion: Physicians should note that LMDF can occur in body sites other than the face and should be aware of the available treatment options to manage this condition.

Article Synopsis
- Pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatment has shown effectiveness in resolving lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei (LMDF) in cases where drug therapies have been unsuccessful.
- A 28-year-old male with persistent facial eruptions confirmed as LMDF received PDL after failed treatments with isotretinoin and methotrexate, leading to significant improvement without scarring.
- Early intervention with PDL may enhance treatment outcomes and reduce the risk of disease relapse, indicating the need for further research on laser therapy's role in managing LMDF.
