“…A lymphocytic infiltrate occurs limited to the perifollicular area, and some neutrophils may be seen migrating the follicular wall. Healing with fibrosis and scar formation often results [33]. Systemic antibiotics as for acne should be initiated [34,35].…”

Acneiform dermatoses are follicular eruptions. The initial lesion is inflammatory, usually a papule or pustule. Comedones are later secondary lesions, a sequel to encapsulation and healing of the primary abscess. The earliest histological event is spongiosis, followed by a break in the follicular epithelium. The spilled follicular contents provokes a nonspecific lymphocytic and neutrophilic infiltrate. Acneiform eruptions are almost always drug induced. Important clues are sudden onset within days, widespread involvement, unusual locations (forearm, buttocks), occurrence beyond acne age, monomorphous lesions, sometimes signs of systemic drug toxicity with fever and malaise, clearing of inflammatory lesions after the drug is stopped, sometimes leaving secondary comedones. Other cutaneous eruptions that may superficially resemble acne vulgaris but that are not thought to be related to it etiologically are due to infection (e.g. gramnegative folliculitis) or unknown causes (e.g. acne necrotica or acne aestivalis). oooooooooooooooooooo

“…Frontal fibrosing alopecia has been classified as a form of lichen planopilaris based on similar histopathology, and the coexistence of classic scalp lichen planopilaris or lichen planus elsewhere on the body in some subjects [87,90]. One recent study showed that vellus-like and intermediate follicles are more selectively affected, as seen in "fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution" -a patterned lichen planopilaris or lichenoid tissue reaction in areas of androgenetic alopecia, which can present with features similar to those of frontal fibrosing alopecia (see 11.3.4) [170,180].…”
