Abstract

Pseudofolliculitis and acne keloidales are common skin conditions which are difficult to control and may cause considerable problems for the patient, resulting in disfiguring scarring. In a limited open study, 1% clindamycin was found to be a simple and effective treatment for both conditions.

Histopathological examination revealed it to be folliculitis, rather than true acne. The eruption continued for six months but was resolved three months after discontinuing the drug. It has not reappeared in the following 3 years.
