Actinic folliculitis—response to isotretinoin

Two female patients with an identical facial eruption, consisting of severe outbreaks of folliculitic pustules occurring 6 to 24 h following periods of intense sun exposure and persisting for several days, are reported. Both failed to improve with standard acne treatments, but responded well to oral isotretinoin therapy.
