AB  - A  17-year-old  young  African  American  man  comes  to  the  office  because,  for  the  past  2  years,  he  has  been  bothered  by  the  uncomfortable  bumps  on  the  back  of  his  neck  (Figure  114-1).  He  is  an  athletic  young  man,  more  than  6  feet  tall,  and  likes  to  keep  his  hair  short  for  his  sports.  He  notices  the  bumps  get  irritated  and  larger  when  he  shaves  his  hair.  He  also  has  bumps  on  his  face  that  get  worse  when  he  shaves  his  face  (Figure  114-2).  He  is  diagnosed  with  pseudofolliculitis  barbae  and  acne  keloidalis  nuchae.  His  treatment  consisted  of  patient  education  and  twice-daily  tretinoin  cream  and  0.1%  triamcinolone  cream  to  the  neck  area  and  nightly  tretinoin  cream  to  the  beard  area.  He  was  told  he  could  use  1%  hydrocortisone  cream  on  his  face  as  needed.  It  was  suggested  that  he  minimize  shaving,  if  possible.
