Keratosis pilaris decalvans non-atrophicans

Clin Exp Dermatol. 1993 Jan;18(1):45-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2230.1993.tb00965.x.

Abstract

A patient is described who presented with an eruption of tiny follicular keratotic papules on the limbs and the trunk accompanied by profuse hair loss. Histologically, a diagnosis of keratosis pilaris was made. The eruption cleared spontaneously in 3 months with complete regrowth of hair. Neither atrophy nor scarring remained. This appears to be the first reported case of keratosis pilaris decalvans non-atrophicans.
