A Red Nodule on the Face.

An otherwise healthy 34-year-old man presented to our clinic with a small nonhealing, tender papule that had appeared on his face 9 months previously. His family history and past medical history were unremarkable. There was no history of trauma. Cutaneous examination revealed a small erythematous papule 0.5 cm in diameter on the left preauricular region (Figure 1). There was no regional lymphadenopathy, and he was in a generally good condition.
