Abstract

Milia are multiple, small, benign keratin-filled superficial epidermoid cysts which are classified as primary when they occur spontaneously or secondary when they result from skin trauma or disease. Multiple eruptive milia (MEM) refer to a condition characterized by a sudden eruption of a large number of milia. MEM may be familial, occur as part of a genodermatosis, or occur spontaneously when they are termed idiopathic. Idiopathic MEM are an exceedingly rare disease. We present the case of a 70-year-old Nigerian woman with idiopathic MEM.
