Pseudofolliculitis barbae is essentially a disorder of the beard in black men who shave. The only permanent cures are beard growth and depilation. An important part of the therapeutic regimen is patient education. Acne keloidalis nuchae refers to the occurrence of keloidal-like papules and plaques on the occipital scalp and posterior neck, almost exclusively in black men. It usually starts after puberty as an acute folliculitis and perifolliculitis, which becomes chronic. As the disease progresses the papules enlarge and some form keloidal-like plaques. There is therapeutic and help and hope for acne keloidalis nuchae patients using the excision and second-intention healing technique plus some of the recently reported laser techniques.
