Abstract
Microblading is a novel method of semi-permanent makeup, which has achieved popularity in the last few years. We present the case of a patient who developed cutaneous sarcoidosis after microblading of her eyebrows. A 45-year-old female presented with a 6-month history of pruritic erythematous granulomatous plaques on bilateral eyebrows corresponding to the site of microblading 1.5 years prior. A tissue biopsy was preformed which was consistent with cutaneous sarcoidosis. An extensive work-up including assessment by respirology, rheumatology, and ophthalmology did not reveal any evidence of systemic sarcoidosis. The patient was treated with intralesional triamcinolone injections and tacrolimus ointment twice daily, with complete resolution. To our knowledge, this is the first case of cutaneous sarcoidosis associated with microblading in the literature. Dermatologists should be aware of popular and novel cosmetic procedures and the potential complications that arise from these interventions.
