Notes:
Summary Acne keloidalis is an uncommon disease that predominantly affects post-pubertal males. The condition is primarily a chronic folliculitis complicated by hypertrophic scarring and multiple draining abscesses. Many patients present with advanced stages, despite prolonged non-operative treatments. Advanced stages of the disease can be easily treated with excisional cure followed by primary closure. Tissue expansion of the posterior scalp is a treatment option in very large lesions, yet simple primary closure offers an equally successful cosmetic and functional result, in lesions up to 11.5 cm in width.
