Abstract
|
|
|
|
Tufts folliculitis is an uncommon folliculitis of the scalp that resolves with patches of scarring alopecia within which multiple hair tufts emerge from dilated follicular orifices. Each tuft consists of 5 to 20 normal-appearing hairs arising from a single follicular orfice. It has a prolonged relapsing clinical course, and results in a scarring alopecia. Systemic antibiotics and steroids are commonly used for anti-inflammatory effects, but have only a brief response. Here, we report a case of tufted hair folliculitis in a 36-year-old woman, with the clinical, histological findings and computerized hand-held phototrichogramical evaluations.
