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.
