AI Article Synopsis
- Juvenile colloid milium (JCM) is a rare, benign skin condition that causes translucent bumps on sun-exposed areas in young people, particularly before puberty.
- It is believed to be linked to genetic factors that make individuals more susceptible to UV light, leading to skin cell damage.
- This paper presents the first reported case of a 10-year-old boy with JCM in Romania, highlighting its rarity and the lack of prevalence data.
Article Abstract
Juvenile colloid milium (JCM) is a rare, chronic, benign but cosmetically disturbing degenerative dermatosis, characterized by the appearance of translucent papules on sun-exposed areas before puberty. The juvenile form of colloid milium is thought to be caused by an inherited susceptibility to ultraviolet (UV) light, transmitted in an either autosomal dominant or recessive manner, eventually leading to keratinocyte degeneration. The prevalence of JCM is unknown due to the scarcity of case reports. This paper describes the case of a 10 years old male patient diagnosed with JCM which, according to the information available so far, is the first such case reported in Romania.

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.
