AB Keratosis  pilaris  atrophicans  (KPA)  is  a  group  of  inherited  disorders  with  three  subtypes  including  (a)  keratosis  pilaris  atrophicans  faciei  (KPAF),  (b)  atrophoderma  vermiculatum  (AV),  and  (c)  keratosis  follicularis  spinulosa  decalvans  (KFSD).  KPAF  and  AV  present  mainly  on  the  face  with  KFSD  often  appearing  on  the  eyebrow  and  AV  most  commonly  seen  on  the  cheeks,  sparing  the  eyebrows  and  scalp.  KFSD  can  affect  the  face,  scalp,  and  trunk.  Inheritance  pattern  can  be  autosomal  dominant  (KPAF,  AV),  recessive  (AV),  or  X-linked  (KFSD).
