Familial clustering is rarely reported, limiting understanding of potential genetic susceptibility. We describe five cases of FD occurring in two unrelated families: three sisters with adolescent-onset disease and a mother\u2013daughter pair with adult-onset disease, with a possible history in a preceding generation. Clinical and histopathological findings were consistent with FD in all cases. Staphylococcus aureus was identified in three of the affected individuals. Compared with previously reported familial cases, which predominantly involve male relatives or twins, this series represents the largest female-predominant familial cluster and the first clear mother\u2013daughter occurrence. These findings support a potential heritable component in FD and highlight the need for further genomic and mechanistic studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ced\/llag385","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,4]],"date-time":"2026-09-04T11:08:24Z","timestamp":1788520104000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Folliculitis decalvans in two families"],"prefix":"10.1093","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1123-6882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bevin","family":"Bhoyrul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sinclair Dermatology, 2 Wellington Parade , East Melbourne, VIC ,","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vanessa","family":"Fahey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Histolab , 796 High Street, Kew East, VIC ,","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong Chern","family":"Kho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Skin Hospital , 121 Crown Street, Darlinghurst, NSW ,","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,5]]},"container-title":["Clinical and Experimental Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/ced\/advance-article-pdf\/doi\/10.1093\/ced\/llag385\/70965399\/llag385.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"am","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/ced\/advance-article-pdf\/doi\/10.1093\/ced\/llag385\/70965399\/llag385.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,5]],"date-time":"2026-09-05T00:01:36Z","timestamp":1788566496000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/ced\/advance-article\/doi\/10.1093\/ced\/llag385\/8786014"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,5]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/ced\/llag385","relation":{},"ISSN":["0307-6938","1365-2230"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0307-6938","type":"print"},{"value":"1365-2230","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,5]]},"article-number":"llag385"}}
