Actinic granuloma (also known as "O'Brien granuloma") is a cutaneous condition characterized histologically by a dermal infiltrate of macrophages.
Actinic granuloma is an asymptomatic granulomatous reaction that affects sun-exposed skin, most commonly on the face, neck, and scalp. It is characterized by annular or polycyclic lesions that slowly expand centrifugally and have an erythematous elevated edge and a hypopigmented, atrophic center. Advise to reduce exposure to the sun and to use sunscreen. Treatment with topical halometasone cream, pimecrolimus cream.
