RESUMEN
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) can present cutaneous symptoms. In the reported case, infiltrating perineal and scrotal inflammation were attributed to FMF and treated by systemic medication with colchicine. The poor outcome of this conservative approach and pathognomonic axillary dermatological findings allowed the diagnosis of acne inversa to be made. Knowledge of this clinical picture possibly including genital manifestations is crucial, as early excision of all affected regions is the therapy of choice that enables healing.
