ABSTRACT
Pseudofolliculitis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disorder seen mainly in individuals with curly hair. This condition is caused by hairs curling back into the skin and is seen most frequently in black men who shave their beards (pseudofolliculitis barbae), but may also be seen in all races who shave the axillary (pseudofolliculitis axillae) and pubic skin (pseudofolliculitis pubis). We report a case of pseudofolliculitis pubis in a 23-year-old black woman, who presented with multiple, dark, black-colored papules on both inner thighs, on the edge of the bikini line, which she regularly shaved. Histopathologically, foreign-body inflammatory reaction surrounding an ingrown hair was observed. We recommended her to stop shaving pubic hairs and to remove the hairs by laser.
