    Pseudofolliculitis barbae, an ingrown hair condition common in Black men, can cause scarring and keloids. This article details a successful treatment approach targeting the disease

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Cutaneous Biology

    Background:

    • Pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) is a prevalent inflammatory condition affecting the beard area, particularly in individuals with curly hair.
    • It stems from ingrown hairs causing a foreign body reaction, leading to papules, pustules, and potential scarring.

    Observation:

    • The case involves a patient with pseudofolliculitis barbae presenting with keloid formation.
    • Keloids represent a significant complication, indicating an abnormal wound repair process.

    Findings:

    • Successful treatment was achieved by addressing the underlying pathophysiology of PFB and leveraging principles of wound repair biology.
    • The therapeutic strategy focused on mitigating the inflammatory response and promoting controlled healing.

    Implications:
