“…For symptomatic relief emollients, topical steroid, and keratolytic agents can be used [4]. Different systemic treatments including isotretinoin, etretinate, dapsone and antibiotics have been tried with varied results it is suggested that the use of retinoids in the early and more active phase of the disease, when histopathology shows perifollicular infiltrate, can bring some benefit [4,6,7]. Treatment is even more disappointing when the disease predominantly shows cicatricial changes, as in this present study [8].…”

“…1,4 Recently other authors have included a fourth type named folliculitis spinulosa decalvans, previously considered a persistent inflammatory variation of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans 6 The term keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans was criated by Siemens,7 in 1926, when he described some individuals from a Bavarian family that presented follicular papules on the face, trunk and extremities with partial loss of hairs on these areas and from that moment the disease became known as Siemens syndrome. Genetic studies in Dutch and English families showed connection with the Xp21.2-p22 gene.…”

“…Genetic studies in Dutch and English families showed connection with the Xp21.2-p22 gene. 8 However, other family analyses without evidence of inheritance linked to X suggest heterogeneous transmissions 1,3,4,9 and also sporadic 6 ones. This disease starts in the early years of life, initially on the face and progressing towards the trunk and limbs and it might spread to other parts of the body.…”

Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans is a rare disease, with genetic transmission either X-linked or sporadic, characterized by follicular hyperkeratosis and cicatricial alopecia. The disease usually begins in early childhood exacerbating throughout adolescence. The therapies are somewhat effective, with frustrating treatment when there are changes which are predominantly cicatricial. It is reported a case of child with intense cicatricial alopecia, with precocious changes (already present at birth) that rapidly evolved to diffuse cicatricial alopecia on the scalp, which has limited the treatment, with disappointing results. Keywords: Hair follicle; Keratosis; Scalp dermatoses; Skin and connective tissue diseases Resumo: A queratose folicular espinulosa decalvante é afecção rara, de transmissão genética ligada ao X ou esporádica, caracterizada por hiperqueratose folicular e alopecia cicatricial. Inicia-se, geralmente, na primeira infância, exacerbando-se na adolescência. As terapias são pouco efetivas, com tratamento frustrante, quando já há alterações predominantemente cicatriciais. Relata-se caso de criança com quadro de alopecia cicatricial intensa, com alterações precoces (já ao nascimento) e rápida evolução para alopecia difusa cicatricial do couro cabeludo, o que tornou o tratamento limitado e desapontador.

Acne represents the commonest inflammatory dermatosis seen worldwide and is the leading reason for seeing a dermatologist; a number of acne variants are described. In children, these include neonatal, infantile, mid‐childhood and prepubertal acne. Acne fulminans and acne conglobata represent severe but rare forms. Predisposing factors may be implicated in acneform dermatoses; these include medications, occupational and environmental triggers, cosmetics, systemic diseases and syndromes. This chapter describes all clinical variants and provides evidence‐based or expert opinion on management.
