- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 29-year-old female was presented with asymptomatic folliculocentric hyperpigmented macules along with tiny, discrete keratotic, follicular pits over bilateral eyelids, extending up to the ears since early childhood. The article discusses the underlying pathomechanism of this finding is not entirely clear but we speculate a linkage between follicular pathology and forkhead gene mutation.
