“…346,347,[350][351][352] Proposed disease precipitants include mechanical trauma from shirt collars, 353 excoriation, 354 and seborrhea 346 ; infection with Demodex 351,355 or bacteria 311 ; and autoimmunity. 347 Acne mechanica from sports helmets, 352 hair length, 352,356 and hair impaction (''pseudofolliculitis nuchae'' 352 ) 351,355 are largely dispelled notions. Illustrative aspects of pathogenesis may be suggested by the reported occurrence of drug-induced acne keloidalis in white males who were treated with the anticonvulsants diphenylhydantoin and carbamazepine together (1 case) 357 and cyclosporine (4 cases).…”

“…The role of repeated skin trauma for the development of acneiform lesions has already been reported in the literature [2,11,12], in participants of contact sports such as American football players [13,14]. This form of acne has been described under the term ‘acne mechanica’ or ‘football acne’ and has been linked to contact with football helmets and shoulder pads.…”

Background: Exogenous acne refers to acneiform lesions due to external factors such as cosmetic agents, exposure to various oils, skin rubbing or friction or chloracne, now better called metabolizing acquired dioxin-induced skin hamartoma (MADISH). Here we report a new form of severe inflammatory exogenous acne due to the association of two factors: facial friction with cosmetic agents. Observations: A 15-, 17- and 19-year-old female presented at the department with severe inflammatory acne. In all cases, the face had been strongly rubbed in a compulsory manner in the previous weeks with cosmetic agents. The disease has not responded to various conventional acne treatments and was well controlled by a combination of oral corticosteroids and low-dose isotretinoin. Conclusion: Because cosmetic face friction as a cosmetic care becomes more and more fashionable, dermatologists should be aware of this severe clinical condition, which can occur in patients without a personal history of acne.

A 22-year-old soldier developed during his assignment in Afghanistan purulent draining nodules and fistulas on the scalp. The clinical picture resembled an inflammatory variant of cutis verticis gyrata, and taken together with the histology the diagnosis of acne inversa of the scalp was established. Therapy was started with corticosteroids and isotretinoin, which stopped the secretion of pus: thereafter all there nodules and draining sinuses were excised. After surgery, medication was continued with low dose isotretinoin and dapsone. A complete healing was achieved with this combined regimen.
