Dear RM Agents and Readers,

Was very upset to see that facebook was showing an error at this page and knew I better get busy. So here it is:

My typed version:

Keratin Projections are thickened follicular casts. When sanctioned and stained with Gormori trichrome, these follicular casts are abnormal in that although the outer surface is composed of keratin-rich tissue the interior can contain collegen-rich tissue. Comedo-like masses can emerge from pores spontaneously or when scratched and sometimes described by patients as being sand like. Patients may misinterpret these objects as being seeds, eggs, cocoons, parasites or even anthropodes. These comedo-like masses can contain embedded keratin or collagen filaments and or projecting filaments. When they form inside a pore or follicle, they may form a tight wad of fibers. Hair and follicular bulb deformities may include pill multigemini . Hairs and fibers grow downward deep into the dermis rather than the opposite direction through the pore opening and follicular sheaths with filamentous projections. These projections can completely cover the folicular sheath and may be interpreted by patients as caterpillars.
