After starting cyclosporine 150 mg, acne-like eruptions appeared, and a 4 mm skin biopsy revealed folliculitis and perifolliculitis. Cyclosporine-induced folliculitis is a rare adverse effect of cyclosporine therapy, requiring prompt management through dose adjustment, discontinuation, and adjunctive therapies.  \nIntroduction  \nCyclosporine, a potent immunosuppressive agent, is widely used to manage various autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including organ transplantation and autoimmune dermatoses.  \nWhile its efficacy in controlling immune-mediated diseases is well-established, cyclosporine therapy is associated with a spectrum of adverse effects, ranging from nephrotoxicity to cutaneous manifestations. 1 One dermatological complication is cyclosporine-induced folliculitis, a relatively uncommon adverse reaction characterized by developing inflammatory papules and pustules involving hair follicles.2 Despite its recognition as a potential side effect of cyclosporine therapy, cyclosporine-induced folliculitis remains underreported and underrecognized in clinical practice, posing diagnostic challenges for dermatologists and clinicians.
