Abstract

A 4-year-old male child presented with a stubborn skin lesion situated close to his left eye, failing multiple prior treatments. A wooden splitter was found on wound exploration. The child was treated with linezolid for superadded methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus infection. Bacterial skin infections frequently affect children; however, a foreign body reaction malingering a classical presentation of periporitis is not common.
