Lupoid sycosis of pubic area.
Lupoid sycosis is a rare cicatricial form of chronic folliculitis commonly seen in men after puberty. It usually involves the beard area and is refractory to treatment. We here report two cases of lupoid sycosis; one had additional involvement of the pubic area. Both patients showed complete clearance with minocycline.
