Abstract

Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans is a rare, X-linked genodermatosis characterized by follicular hyperkeratosis, scarring alopecia of the scalp, eyebrows and eyelashes, corneal dystrophy and photophobia. We describe two cases from a large family, the first with keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans to be reported in the U.K.
