Acne keloidalis nuchae (also known as Acne keloidalis Dermatitis papillaris capillitii Folliculitis keloidalis Folliculitis keloidis nuchae and Nuchal keloid acne) is a destructive scarring folliculitis that occurs almost exclusively on the occipital scalp of people of African descent primarily men. This is mainly because men often cut their hair very low as opposed to women allowing the hair to prick the occipital scalp and upset it.
