Abstract

Life Sciences & Biomedicine Public, Environmental & Occupational Health Science & Technology
Granuloma Gluteale Infantum (GGI) is a rare condition of unclear etiology,[1] presenting as asymptomatic cherry red nodules in the diaper area appearing in the sett ing of primary irritant contact dermatitis.[2] A 50 day old infant with GGI is presented to emphasize that the condition may be easily missed, and that it may result from the misuse of fl uorinated topical steroids used to treat a rash in the diaper area. This is the fi rst case reported from Saudi Arabia.
