ABSTRACT
Granuloma gluteale infantum has been applied to a condition arising as a complication of primary irritant dermatitis. Plastic pants, and the use of topical corticosteroids to treat diaper dermatitis are believed to be important precipitating factors. Candida albicans has been considered as an etiologic agent. The characteristic lesions are violaceous, oval nodules, occuring on the convexities of the diaper area in 2- to 9-month-old infants with a history of diaper dermatitis. We report a case of granuloma gluteale infantum that developed in a 3 month-old infant who had multiple violaceous nodules over the diaper area of the genitocrural region.
