“…[ 1 ] This disease often occurs in young African men and individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types 4–6. [ 2 ] DRIF is characterized by skin-colored papules centered on hair follicles on the trunk and proximal extremities, which are often accompanied by pruritus. Pustules and hairs can also be seen on the papules.…”

We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 1 case of disseminate and recurrent infundibular folliculitis (DRIF) in our hospital and 31 cases of DRIF reported in previous domestic and international studies. There were 32 cases, including 22 males and 10 females, with a mean age of onset of 24.72 ± 13.68 years. Skin lesions were more likely to occur on the trunk and proximal extremities and may involve the face, neck, and genitals. Typical histopathology revealed mild thickening and spongy edema of the spinous layer, different degrees of pigmentation increase in the basal layer, and mild to moderate spongy edema and inflammatory cell infiltration (predominantly lymphocytes and neutrophils) in the infundibulum and around the hair follicle. DRIF is a chronic disease more prevalent in young men of African descent and individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types 4–6. This disease is diagnosed based on clinical features and histopathology and is preferentially treated with retinoids.

The presentation, aetiology and management of acquired superficial and deep disorders of the pilosebaceous units are discussed in this chapter. The chapter begins with discussion of external causes and systemic medications, including EGFR inhibitors, as causes of folliculitis. Infantile and adult eosinophilic folliculitis is subsequently explored, followed by actinic folliculitis which rounds up the discussion on the disorders affecting the superficial pilosebaceous unit. Disorders causing inflammation of the pilosebaceous gland below the level of the infundibulum are then discussed. The presentation, aetiology and management of pseudofolliculitis, necrotising lymphocytic folliculitis of the scalp margin, chronic non‐scarring folliculitis of the scalp, and disseminate and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis are covered. Discussion of Fordyce spots and sebaceous hyperplasia concludes the discussion.
