ABSTRACT
Lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei(LMDF) is a erythematous to yellowish asymptomatic papular eruption affecting the cental of the face, which runs a chronic course and terminating spontaneously with scarring. Histopathologically, epithelioid cell granuloma with caseation necrosis is seen in the dermis. Although the disease is self limited, the etiology and pathogenesis are unknown, so there is no effective treatment for LMDF. We report 3 cases of LMDF patients treated with Dapsone with effective results compared to natural history of this disease.
