ABSTRACT
Pityriasis amiantacea is a distinct scalp disease characterized by asbestos-like, thick, adherent scales that engulf and bind down tufts of hair. Herein, we report two cases of pityriasis amiantacea. One case was a 75-year-old female who showed simultaneous keratotic follicular papules and psoriasiform dermatitis on her body. The other case was a 14 year old female showing seborrheic dermatitis on her face. Previously, only one case of pityriasis amiantacea had been reported in Korea.
