Pseudofolliculitis barbae associated with an unusual hair whorl

Cutis. 1993 Feb;51(2):107-8.

Abstract

Descriptions of hair direction in the literature have emphasized unusual patterns of the scalp and associated developmental brain defects. We present the case of a white patient with unilateral pseudofolliculitis barbae associated with a hair whorl in the inframandibular region. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pseudofolliculitis barbae associated with a hair whorl.
