Abstrakt: Case Presentation: A 30-year-old male with a past medical history of hypertension and renal failure on peritoneal dialysis presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of a rash on his anterior trunk for the prior three weeks. Dermatological examination revealed multiple, discrete folliculocentric, erythematous, and hyperpigmented papules, with scattered adjacent angulated erosions. Discussion: Perforating folliculitis is a rare and often difficult to diagnose skin condition classically seen in patients with chronic renal disease or underlying immunodeficiency.
