Did you mean Hyperkeratotic Papules?

GlossaryHyperkeratotic Papules

Hyperkeratotic papules are small, raised lesions on the skin characterized by an excessive buildup of keratin, the protein that forms the outer layer of the skin. In the context of hair loss, these papules can be associated with conditions such as follicular keratosis or certain forms of alopecia, where they may indicate inflammation or blockage of hair follicles. Key distinguishing characteristics include their rough texture and the potential for surrounding redness or irritation, which can impact hair growth if the follicles are affected.
