    TLDR Four new cases confirmed the unique features of follicular porokeratosis.
    Follicular porokeratosis (FP) was a newly proposed subtype of porokeratosis, a keratinization disorder characterized by annular plaques with a keratotic ridge. FP was distinguished by cornoid lamellae located exclusively in the follicular ostia. The document presented four new cases of FP, all showing typical histological features, including stacked parakeratosis, absence of the granular layer, and dysmaturation in the upper spinous layer.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
