Abstract
Ulerythema ophryogenes (UO) or keratosis pilaris rubra atrophicans faciei is a disorder of keratinization that primarily affects the face. The inflammatory process in UO may eventually result in alopecia. The incidence of this disorder is still unknown. We present a case of UO in a 28-year-old male, the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia.Entities:
