Follicular mucinosis (also referred to as alopecia mucinosa) was first described by Pinkus as alopecia caused by follicular degeneration secondary to the accumulation of mucin around the outer hair sheath and sebaceous gland, with prominent follicular infiltration by chronic inflammatory cells. It can be broadly classified into three different forms with variations in onset, course, and disease associations. The first is a primary acute form which occurs more commonly in children and younger adults, with solitary lesions seen on the head and scalp that resolve spontaneously within a relatively short period. It could also manifest as a primary chronic form which is seen in a slightly older age group and runs a more protracted course with multiple disseminated lesions that tend to recur frequently following treatment. 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.
