Pseudofolliculits barbae, PFB, is a common cutaneous disease encountered frequently in medical practice. PFB represents a chronic inflammatory condition of the hair follicle caused by ingrown hairs producing an inflammatory foreign body reaction. The pathogenesis of PFB is multifactorial. Factors such as hair type and direction of hair growth play a role in the initial inflammatory reaction. In the armed forces, PFB represents a real challenge for both the physician and the patient. The combat environment, with the recent threat of biological and chemical weapons, requires the servicemen to be clean-shaven for appropriate gas mask fitting around the face. This article will review the etiology, pathogenesis, classification, and newer treatment modalities in the management of PFB.
须部假性毛囊炎（PFB）是医疗实践中经常遇到的一种常见皮肤病。PFB是由内生毛发引起毛囊慢性炎症，产生炎症性异物反应。PFB的发病机制是多因素的。毛发类型和毛发生长方向等因素在初始炎症反应中起作用。在军队中，PFB对医生和患者来说都是一个真正的挑战。鉴于近期生物和化学武器的威胁，作战环境要求军人剃净胡须，以便面部能合适地佩戴防毒面具。本文将综述PFB治疗中病因、发病机制、分类及新的治疗方式。
