Disseminate and Recurrent Infundibulofolliculitis: An Under-Recognized Yet Treatable Entity

Disseminate and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis (DRIF) is a pruritic papular eruption that predominantly affects young adults with Fitzpatrick skin types 4-6. Due to DRIF's rarity and under-recognition, no standardized treatment guidelines exist. However, several oral agents have been used, including vitamin A, antibiotics, and retinoids. Topical agents, such as calcineurin inhibitors and mid-potency steroids, can also be efficacious. This brief communication summarizes treatments for DRIF in the published literature.
