rare skin lymphoma targeting hair follicles, causing hair loss

Folliculotropic Mycosis Fungoides (FMF) is a rare variant of mycosis fungoides, which is a type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. In FMF, malignant T-cells specifically target hair follicles, leading to symptoms such as hair loss, follicular papules, and acneiform lesions. This condition often requires specialized dermatological and oncological care for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
