High-fat diet induces a predisposition to follicular hyperkeratosis and neutrophilic folliculitis in mice

Neutrophilic folliculitis is an inflammatory condition of hair follicles. In some neutrophilic folliculitis, such as in patients with acne and hidradenitis suppurativa, follicular hyperkeratosis is also observed. Neutrophilic folliculitis is often induced and/or exacerbated by a high-fat diet (HFD). However, the molecular mechanisms by which an HFD affects neutrophilic folliculitis are not fully understood.
