Acne keloidalis nuchae
Encyclopedia
Acne keloidalis nuchae is a destructive scarring folliculitis
that occurs almost exclusively on the occipital scalp
of people of African descent, primarily men. This is mainly because men often cut their hair very low as opposed to women, allowing the hair to prick the occipital scalp
and upset it. Acne keloidalis nuchae most commonly presents itself in individuals aged 13 to 25.
