Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli: Relationship with keratosis pilaris
Augustine, M. & Jayaseelan, E.
Abstract
Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli (EFF) is an unusual condition characterized by the triad of hyperpigmentation, follicular plugging and erythema of face and neck. This is less common in women and familial case reports are few. We report EFF in three siblings in an Indian family, two of whom are females. The possibility of this condition being genetically related to keratosis pilaris as well as being a variant of keratosis rubra pilaris is also discussed.
