Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans is a rare, X-linked disorder characterized by scarring alopecia of the scalp and eyebrows in the setting of widespread keratosis pilaris. Less frequent associations are ocular abnormalities and palmoplantar keratoderma. Acne keloidalis nuchae has previously been described in one patient with keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans. We report another...

Background: Keratosis rubra pilaris is a common condition with an estimated percentage of 40% involvement in the population. This condition is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and more commonly involves patients with dry skin. In the current study, we evaluated the efficacy of intense pulsed light (IPL) plus ammonium lactate versus ammonium lactate alone in the treatmen...

Nilotinib is a second-generation Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that is approved for the treatment of imatinib-resistant chronic myeloid leukaemia expressing the Bcr-Abl mutation. Cutaneous adverse drug reactions occur more frequently in patients using this medication. We present a case of nilotinib-induced keratosis pilaris that did not have accompanying symptoms of alopecia or prurit...

Introduction: Keratosis pilaris(KP) is a disorder of keratinization of hair follicles characterized by keratin plugs in the hair follicles with perifollicular erythema.It may be inherited with X-Linked Dominant, or may be sporadic. Aim of the study: to compare the efficacy of 30% Salicylic acid and Long pulsed 1064nm Nd:YAG laser for treatment of keratosis pilaris. Materials and methods: Out of...

This study aims to develop and validate an investigator global assessment score (IGA) for keratosis pilaris (KP), a highly prevalent, benign, follicular disorder, standardize disease assessment. To our knowledge, there is currently no scoring system KP. A composite IGA score, Keratosis Pilaris Area Index (KPAI), was created compared 0-4 defined KP known as KP-IGA. validation done determine the ...

Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is an uncommon papulosquamous inflammatory dermatosis of unclear aetiology. Its most remarkable clinical findings are palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, orange-red scaling plaques and hyperkeratotic follicular papules. Its extension may vary from localised subtypes to generalised skin involvement with well-demarcated areas of spared skin ("islands of sparing") to erythr...
