Granuloma faciale is an uncommon skin disorder that is characterized by the formation of a single or multiple red-brown papules or nodules on the face. it is believed to be an inflammatory reaction to an unknown antigen, and is often associated with an increase in eosinophils, a type of white blood cell. the lesions may become crusted or ulcerated before healing.
What happens during the disease - granuloma faciale [eosinophilic granuloma of skin]
Granuloma faciale (eosinophilic granuloma of skin) is a rare inflammatory condition that primarily affects the skin on the face. it is thought to be caused by an aberrant immune response to an unknown stimulus, leading to the accumulation of eosinophils in the affected area. this accumulation of cells causes an inflammatory reaction, leading to the formation of granulomas, which are small clusters of inflammatory cells. these granulomas can cause redness, swelling, and itching, and can sometimes lead to scarring.
