Actinic folliculitis.
We report a case of actinic folliculitis in a 29-year-old woman who presented with a 10-year history of a recurrent pustular eruption affecting her face, typically appearing 4-6 h after exposure to sunlight. Actinic follicuitis is a rare photodermatosis, which falls into the same spectrum as acne aestivalis and actinic superficial folliculitis.
