Miliary dermatitis is a manifestation of an underlying pruritic skin disease the most common of which is '''[[Flea Allergic Dermatitis]] (FAD)''' which accounts for approximately 85 % of cases. It is also seen in cases of allergic skin disease such as '''[[Atopic Dermatitis|atopic dermatitis]]''' and '''food allergy''' and ectoparasitism such as '''[[cheyletiellosis]], trombiculidiasis''' and '''pediculosis'''. Less commonly it is seen as a presentation of ''dermatophytosis'' and bacterial folliculitis.
