Disseminate and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis (DRIF) is a term used to describe a micropapular skin disorder, most commonly occurring in young men with Fitzpatrick skin type V and VI. We present the case of two young Sudanese brothers with a clinical and histologic picture typical of this condition, which has been infrequently reported in children and has not previously been reported in related individuals. The etiology remains uncertain and there is no clear consensus on treatment.

Reports of patients with similar symptoms have been described as early as 1959 [1].…”

Disseminate and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis may mimic patchy pityriasiform eczema histopathologically, but the clinical features differ considerably.…”

A 31-year-old man sought medical attention because of recurrent episodes of itchy follicular papules for 3 years with worsening of his condition during wintertime. Physical examination revealed hypopigmented plaques surrounded by small, slightly scaly, flesh-colored papules and a white dermographism. These lesions were few in number and were distributed over the trunk and upper extremities (Figs. 1 and 2). Personal history revealed asthma bronchiale, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and food allergy since childhood. Results of laboratory tests showed elevation of total IgE levels
