| Summary: | Comedones occur when an overproliferation of keratinocytes blocks sebum secretion in a pilosebaceous duct. Comedones have multiple possible etiologies and contributing factors.

We describe a particularly rare case of comedones at the perianus that is not associated with any known exposure or disease and is a rare incidental finding. |
