Disseminated and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis in children in Mexico

Abstract

Disseminated and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis is an uncommon non-infectious skin eruption characterized by recurrent, sometimes pruritic, follicular papules commonly seen on the trunk and proximal extremities. We describe the clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathologic characteristics of disseminated and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis in three young pediatric patients from the tropical regions of Mexico, Guerrero, and Chiapas.
