Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Trichology

Background:

  • Traction folliculitis is an under-recognized component of traction alopecia syndrome.
  • Popularity of hairstyles causing hair traction necessitates early identification for better prognosis.

Observation:

  • Presents as perifollicular erythema and pustules on the scalp in areas of hair traction.
  • Concurrent hair care practices may contribute to its development.

Findings:

  • Immediate removal of hair traction and modification of hair care practices are primary treatments.
  • Severe cases may require antibacterial or corticosteroid therapy.
  • Discontinuation of traction-producing hairstyles is vital to prevent irreversible traction alopecia.

Implications:
