We report a case of a 16-year-old-child, with no pathological history, who presented to the ophthalmic emergencies for the appearance of skin lesions on his right lower eyelid, with burning sensation, evolving in the last 3 days. With no additional ocular manifestations. Otherwise, the patient denied having a history of recurrent skin eyelid rushes, eye redness, or eye pain.
