Unlabelled: Folliculitis and pseudofolliculitis barbae typically affects men with curly hair who shave too close. Treatment modalities vary in effectiveness and include improved hair removal methods, topical corticosteroids, topical and oral antibiotics, and retinoids as well as laser surgery. We report a novel treatment of recalcitrant pseudofolliculitis barbae and confirm effectiveness in recalcitrant folliculitis in a 58-year old man who responded completely following photodynamic therapy with methyl aminolevulinate.
Conclusion: Photodynamic therapy should be considered in recalcitrant folliculitis and pseudofolliculitis barbae.
