  • Title: Follicular variant of seborrheic dermatitis: is it identical to Malassezia folliculitis?
    Author: Valentine MC.
    Journal: Skinmed; 2011; 9(3):161-6. PubMed ID: 21675495.
    Abstract:
    Follicular accentuation in some patients with seborrheic dermatitis of the back and chest has been recognized for more than a century. The recognition of Malassezia folliculitis in recent decades has led to some confusion regarding categorization of these cases. The author proposes that there is sufficient clinical variation between the typical case of Malassezia folliculitis and patients with follicular seborrheic dermatitis to justify continued separation of these entities until further study provides more clarification.
