Perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens is a rare scalp condition. Nine months of isotretinoin treatment successfully achieved remission in a challenging case.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens (PCAS) is a rare, chronic, suppurative scalp disease.
  • The exact etiology of PCAS remains unknown, contributing to treatment challenges.

Observation:

  • A case of PCAS is presented, highlighting the typical difficulties in management.
  • The patient's condition was refractory to standard therapeutic approaches.

Findings:

  • Successful remission of PCAS was achieved with a nine-month course of isotretinoin therapy.
  • Isotretinoin demonstrated efficacy in managing this rare and persistent scalp condition.

Implications:

  • This case suggests isotretinoin as a potential therapeutic option for recalcitrant PCAS.
