Pseudofolliculitis barbae affects some individuals with coarse curly hair. Currently available treatment modalities are often ineffective. In some studies, lasers have been shown to be potentially helpful in mitigating disease severity by reducing the number and/or thickness of hair shafts.
This was a side-by-side interventional study conducted at a military tertiary medical facility. The study group included 26 patients (skin types IV, V, and VI) referred from primary care physicians with a diagnosis of pseudofolliculitis barbae refractory to medical therapy. A neodymium YAG laser was used to treat one half of the neck. One month later, shaving bumps were counted and compared to their preoperative levels on both sides.
Mean postoperative papule counts were 11.6 +/- 6 (SD) and 30.1 +/- 19 (SD) on the treated side and untreated sides, respectively.
Neodymium YAG laser treatment represents a safe and effective option for reducing papule formation in patients with pseudofolliculitis barbae.
须部假性毛囊炎影响一些毛发粗硬卷曲的个体。目前可用的治疗方法往往无效。在一些研究中，激光已被证明可能有助于通过减少毛干数量和/或厚度来减轻疾病严重程度。
这是在一家军队三级医疗设施进行的一项并行干预研究。研究组包括26名患者（皮肤类型为IV、V和VI型），由初级保健医生转诊，诊断为药物治疗无效的须部假性毛囊炎。使用钕钇铝石榴石激光治疗颈部的一侧。一个月后，对两侧的剃须疹进行计数并与术前水平进行比较。
治疗侧和未治疗侧术后丘疹的平均计数分别为11.6±6（标准差）和30.1±19（标准差）。
钕钇铝石榴石激光治疗是减少须部假性毛囊炎患者丘疹形成的一种安全有效的选择。
