Abstract
Acne keloidalis is a chronic inflammatory process involving the hair follicles of the nape of the neck and leading to hypertrophic scarring papules and plaques. Review of the literature shows that this process occurs only in males after puberty, especially in negroes.We, here, report a 31-year-old Caucasian woman who had hypertrophic papules in the nape of her neck since 10 years and histopathological examination confirmed it is as acne keloidalis. This is a rare case hitherto unreported in Caucasian females
