Papular histiocytosis of the head also known as benign cephalic histiocytosis is a rare, self-limiting histiocytosis that typically starts in early childhood. 1 Erythematous macules, papules and nodules develop on cheeks and spread to the forehead, earlobes and neck. Lesions are asymptomatic, gradually become reddish brown and may spread to involve the trunk, shoulders and back region including buttocks. There is no mucous membrane involvement. We report a case of 1 and half year boy, born of non-consanguineous marriage presented with multiple, asymptomatic, erythematous, yellow to red color papules on cheeks and back. Lesion was slowly progressive in nature for the past 7 months. Clinical and histological features were consistent with papular histiocytosis of head.
