✦ Synopsis

We describe a 78-year-old woman with polycythaemia rubra vera who had multiple tiny follicular hyperkeratotic spicules on the cheeks. She was receiving treatment with oral hydroxyurea, but no topical agents had been applied to her face. Histopathological study demonstrated numerous Demodex folliculorum mites within dilated follicular infundibula, and we consider that the mites were playing a part in the aetiology of the skin lesions.
