Rash on eyebrows and periumbilical region

Author and Disclosure Information

Our 8-year-old patient had recently gotten new glasses. This helped us to uncover the cause of the plaques on her eyebrows—and abdomen.

An 8-year-old girl was brought to her family physician’s office (RU) because of a persistent rash on her lateral eyebrows and periumbilical region. The family indicated that she’d had the rash for more than 6 months. They also mentioned that the child had received a new pair of eyeglasses 8 months earlier. The child was otherwise in good health. The physical examination revealed erythematous scaling plaques near both lateral eyebrows and around the belly button (FIGURES 1 AND 2).
