Abstract:
Traumatic anserine folliculosis is characterized by white-yellow or skin-colored papules, with or without slight erythema, on the chin or jaw that occurs after prolonged friction or pressure. It was first reported by Padilha-Goncalves in 1977, and named "traumatic anserine folliculosis" for the stressing etiologic factor, the goose skin appearance and the follicular lesion location. To date, fewer than 30 cases have been reported. In this presentation, we report 2 young patients who had traumatic anserine folliculosis.
