Abstract
We present a case of a periocular painless perifolliculitis clinically mimicking basal cell carcinoma (BCC), excised by margin-controlled excision. This case reminds readers that perifolliculitis as a response to rosacea can mimic BCC. The value of diagnostic biopsy and dermoscopy to support management planning and avoid unnecessary surgery is discussed.
