Actinic superficial folliculitis.
We report a 31-year-old man with sterile follicular pustules on the shoulders, trunk and arms, recurring every year within 48-72 h of the year's first exposure to the sun. Both clinical and histological characteristics match those of the condition first described in 1985 under the name actinic superficial folliculitis. We discuss possible relationships with other similar conditions.
