    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Medical Science

    Background:

    • Pseudofolliculitis of the bearded area is a common dermatosis primarily affecting Black men.
    • Acne keloidalis in the nape area and pseudofolliculitis pubis have been previously reported.
    • These conditions share similarities with beard pseudofolliculitis.

    Observation:

    • This study reports a novel presentation of pseudofolliculitis affecting the entire scalp.
    • The term 'pseudofolliculitis capitis' is proposed for this condition.

    Findings:

    • Pseudofolliculitis capitis represents a previously undocumented manifestation of this dermatosis.
    • The scalp is identified as a new anatomical site for pseudofolliculitis.

    Implications:

    • Recognizing pseudofolliculitis capitis expands the understanding of pseudofolliculitis spectrum.
  • This may lead to improved diagnosis and management of scalp-related follicular disorders.
  • Further research into the etiology and treatment of pseudofolliculitis capitis is warranted.
