Acne necrotica

Acne necrotica

Clinical features Acne necrotica (necrotizing lymphocytic folliculitis, acne necrotica varioliformis, acne frontalis, acne pilaris) is a rare disease characterized by chronic recurrent crops of variably pruritic or tender pea-sized erythematous follicular papules which undergo central ulceration and heal with the formation of disfiguring varioliform scars.1โ€“3 Comedones are not a feature and the disease must not be considered a variant of acne vulgaris. It usually involves the anterior hairline and temporal region of the scalp, seborrheic areas, nose, cheek, upper chest, and interscapular area.1,4,5 There is a slight predilection for males and most patients are in the fourth and fifth decades.3
