Pseudofolliculitis barbae associated with an unusual hair whorl.
Descriptions of hair direction in the literature have emphasized unusual patterns of the scalp and associated developmental brain defects. We present the case of a white patient with unilateral pseudofolliculitis barbae associated with a hair whorl in the inframandibular region. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pseudofolliculitis barbae associated with a hair whorl.
