We herein describe the first reported case of Ichthyosis Follicularis with Atrichia and Photophobia (IFAP) syndrome in Thailand. A 6-year-old boy presented with a history of photophobia since 1 month of age. Then he developed widespread follicular hyperkeratotic papules and subtotal non-scarring alopecia by the age of 10 months and 5 years, respectively. Sparse eyelashes and nail dystrophy were also noted. No neurological abnormalities, systemic involvement, and hearing impairment were observed. The clinical manifestations were consistent with IFAP syndrome, although genetic testing did not confirm the diagnosis of this rare disorder.
