    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Trichology

    Background:

    • Pseudofolliculitis is a common inflammatory skin condition often associated with shaving or hair removal.
    • It typically affects areas with coarse, curly hairs, leading to ingrown hairs and folliculitis.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a perforating, ingrowing vibrissa (nasal hair).
    • The patient reported a history of cutting his nasal hair, a practice not commonly linked to pseudofolliculitis.

    Findings:

    • The case describes a novel presentation of pseudofolliculitis occurring specifically in the nasal vibrissae.
    • This suggests that hair cutting, even in the nasal area, can precipitate pseudofolliculitis.

    Implications:

    • This finding expands the known locations and potential causes of pseudofolliculitis.
  • Awareness of 'pseudofolliculitis vibrissa' may aid in diagnosing and managing similar cases, particularly in individuals who practice nasal hair trimming.
