AB Pseudofolliculitis  is  a  common,  chronic  inflammatory  disorder  that  presents  with  inflammatory  papules  and  pustules  in  the  beard  distribution  of  males,  particularly  those  with  darker  skin  phototypes  and  tightly  coiled  hair.  Nonetheless,  pseudofolliculitis  can  present  in  any  skin  that  is  regularly  shaved  and  in  all  skin  phototypes.  In  females  it  is  most  commonly  seen  in  the  axillary  and  pubic  areas.  It  tends  to  present  in  a  more  mild  form  in  lighter  skin  phototypes.
