Abstract:
anserine folliculosis (Padilha-Gonqalves, 1977) is a skin disease occurring on the limited areas of the skin receiving prolonged friction and/or pressure by the other part(s) of the naked skin of the patient. Padilha-Goncalves named traumatic anserine folliculosis by stressing the etiologic factor, the pressure and friction, the goose skin appearance and the follicular nature of the basic skin lesions. A 7-year-old girl developed typical features of traumatic anserine folliculosis on the chin who had the habit of resting the chin on the right knee for 5 years while painting.
