AB  - This  chapter  discusses  conditions  with  the  common  finding  of  follicular  keratosis,  defined  as  orthokeratosis  of  the  follicular  ostium  and  infundibulum.  Keratotic  plugs  protrude  from  the  orifices,  producing  a  rough  sensation  on  palpation  of  the  skin.  Keratosis  pilaris  (KP)  is  a  common,  benign  form  of  follicular  keratosis;  less  common  variants  are  associated  with  follicular  inflammation,  atrophy,  scarring,  alopecia,  and  in  rare  cases  noncutaneous  abnormalities.  Trichodysplasia  spinulosa  (TS),  a  recently  described,  virally  induced  follicular  dysplasia  with  similar  findings,  is  also  reviewed.
