Multiple miliary osteoma cutis of the face is a rare complication of chronic inflammatory acne vulgaris and has invasive and non-invasive treatment alternatives different from acne vulgaris. Invasive techniques should be simple, easy, and inexpensive, with minimal risk of scarring and pigmentation. We used a needle microincision-extirpation technique in a patient with multiple miliary osteoma cutis unresponsive to non-invasive treatment modalities. Skin overlying the papules was incised with a needle and then the calcificated papules were extirpated by using a small curettage device. Lesions were left to secondary healing. Results were quite good and cosmetically acceptable.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessOsteoma cutisAcneSkinSurgical treatmentAcne vulgarisFaceSurgical procedures, minorFemaleFacial dermatosesHumansMiddle agedNeedlesOssification, heterotopicArticle0002484913000092-s2.0-3454763066925225418417671887DermatologyProgressive Osseous Heteroplasia; Albright Syndrome; DermisArticleLidocainePrilocaineRetinoic acidAcne vulgarisAdultAnamnesisCase reportScar formationCurettageSkin biopsyClinical featureFemalePriority journalHumanHuman tissuePhysical examinationInvasive procedureSkin incisionLaboratory testSkin pigmentationMiliary osteoma cutisNon invasive procedureNeedleOssificationOsteomaPapuleTreatment outcomeUltrasound
