Abstract

Tufted hair folliculitis is a progressive, recurrent and inflammatory disease of the scalp characterized by a tufted appearance of the hairs and may result in permanent scarring alopecia. A 41-year-old man presented with tufted hairs within a sized indurated cicatrical patch which is getting wider. He had a scalp laceration history to the lesion 1 year ago. Histopathologic findings showed widened follicular infundibulum, dense perifollicular imflammatory cell infiltrations and dermal fibrosis. We report a case of tufted hair folliculitis developed secondarily to the scalp injury.
