Abstract Propionibacterium acnes is a typical component of the human body's flora and has been implicated as the causative infectious agent following a variety of operations, including device installation. We present a case of a 21‐year‐old male patient with severe global acneiform eruption with a non‐healing limb lesion near the orthopedic surgery incisions.
