There is no specific treatment for follicular plugs, which can be hereditary or acquired depending on the cause. Patients can be seen for the state of the lesion and most current treatments are symptomatic and do not address the underlying cause of the follicular horny plugs, so patients may regrow them after removing the build-up of hyperkeratotic skin material. Patients should take care to maintain clean skin and healthy diet and lifestyle habits to slow down the further development of follicular keratosis and should be seen again if there is discomfort.
