Follicular mucinosis as the only histological finding without granulomas has been recently described in children with suspected leprosy who had complete clearing of the lesions with standard multi drug therapy (MDT) for leprosy. Follicular mucinosis/alopecia mucinosa was first described by Pinkus in 1957 as a process of mucinous follicular degeneration leading to alopecia. Clinically, lesions present as single or multiple well-defined, erythematous, alopecic plaques with occasional scaling and follicular papules on the surface, usually involving the face and scalp. The follicular ostia may be dilated with keratin, and mucin may be squeezed out from the plaques. This information can be published in our peer reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated using citations not only from research articles but also review articles (which tend to receive more citations), editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports. The inclusion of these publications provides the opportunity for editors and publishers to manipulate the ratio used to calculate the impact factor and try to increase their number rapidly. Impact factor plays a major role for the particular journal. Journal with higher impact factor is considered to be more important than other ones.
