| pseudofolliculitis barbae |
A chronic condition characterized by inflammation of the beard area resulting from re-entry of the growing hair into the upper layer of the skin. It can occur in any male with curly hair. The genetic predisposition of the black male to tight coiling hair makes him highly susceptible to this condition. The most common locations for lesions are the face and neck. Although they rarely become secondarily infected, the lesions can be painful and interfere with shaving.
