“…AKN has also been documented in patients with trauma to the skin of the nuchal region. Acne mechanica, which is characterized by pustules, cysts, and nodules in areas of mechanical trauma, has been described as a precursor to AKN in adolescent male football players [17]. Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans (KFSD), which is characterized by widespread keratosis pilaris of the scalp and eyebrows, may have associated AKN when it occurs in the nuchal area since this location is prone to keloid-like scarring [18,19].…”

Acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN) is a condition that involves chronic inflammation of the hair follicles on the occipital scalp and posterior neck that often progresses to keloid-like plaques. AKN has most commonly been reported to affect postpubertal males of African descent. The cause of AKN has not been definitively described; however, it is likely an inflammatory response to trauma or infection of the scalp. AKN is associated with chronic scalp folliculitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, folliculitis decalvans, acne mechanica, keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans, cutis verticis gyrata, metabolic syndrome, acanthosis nigricans, and hypothyroidism. Treatment for AKN begins with topicals, antibiotics, and intralesional steroid injections. Refractory cases are treated with laser and surgery. Isotretinoin, cryotherapy, phototherapy, electrosection, and radiotherapy have also been effective in treating AKN but are less commonly used. In this review, we describe the existing understanding of AKN with a focus on comorbid conditions and available treatment options.

“…This article will discuss common dermatologic diagnoses in children with skin of color including acne, atopic dermatitis (AD), pityriasis alba (PA), tinea versicolor (TV), progressive macular hypomelanosis (PMH), traction alopecia, confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CARP), and keloids, with an emphasis on clinical presentation and diagnostic pearls. Although these conditions can appear in both children and adults with varying skin types, children with ethnic skin may have different patterns of clinical presentation and response to therapy (Shen, Kenner-Bell, Ricketts, & Kundu, 2016). This article will also briefly address differences in pathophysiology and treatment modalities in those with richly pigmented skin (Table 2).…”
