    GlossaryTrichofolliculoma

    rare benign skin tumor originating from hair follicles

    Trichofolliculoma is a rare, benign skin tumor that originates from hair follicles. It typically presents as a small, flesh-colored or slightly yellowish nodule, often on the face or scalp, and may have a central pore from which fine hairs emerge. This condition is generally harmless but can be surgically removed if it causes cosmetic concerns or discomfort.
