    TLDR The patient improved with treatment for depilating folliculitis.
    The document described a case of a 26-year-old male with an 8.5-year history of depilating folliculitis, characterized by inflammatory papules, pustules, scars, and hair loss on various body parts. This condition was noted to be uncommon in the authors' country but more frequent in warmer climates, particularly among peasants and sugar-cane workers. The condition affected wide-depilated areas, especially in body folds, and had seasonal outbreaks. The patient showed a good response to treatment. The document also included a review of the histopathologic pathogenesis of the condition.
