Secondary milia associated with bullous erysipelas developed in the right leg of a 64-year-old woman. The milia, measuring up to 6 mm, appeared one month after healing of the erysipelas. Findings of histopathologic and immunohistochemical studies showed that the milia were related to dilated eccrine ducts and not to the hair follicle. Topical treatment with 0.05 percent tretinoin cream resulted in almost full resolution of the lesions.
