Pseudofolliculitis--revised concepts of diagnosis and treatment. Report of three cases in women.

Three cases of pseudofolliculitis are described in black American women, bringing the total number of cases described in the literature to five. Pseudofolliculitis pubis, pseudofolliculitis axillae, and pseudofolliculitis faciale (for women with facial involvement) are new diagnoses we propose to add to the nomenclature. Topical retinoic acid may be the treatment of choice.
