We reporta clinical case of a 30-year-old female patient, with follicular papules on armpits compatible with Fox-Fordyce disease.
The purpose of this paper is to report a uncommon entity while providing a bibliographical revision highlighting the differential diagnoses and their available therapeutic options.
