    This case report details a severe scalp infection, perifolliculitis capitis, complicated by skull osteomyelitis. Successful treatment involved antibiotics, debridement, and skin grafts, eradicating the rare combined condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology and Infectious Diseases
    • Surgical Oncology and Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Perifolliculitis capitis is a scalp condition characterized by inflammatory nodules.
    • Skull osteomyelitis is a serious bone infection requiring aggressive management.

    Observation:

    • A severe case of perifolliculitis capitis presented with extensive scalp nodules and deep abscesses.
    • Exposed bone and Staphylococcus aureus infection confirmed concurrent skull osteomyelitis, a previously unreported combination.

    Findings:

    • The patient underwent treatment including enteral hyperalimentation, intravenous antibiotics, and extensive surgical debridement.
    • Reconstruction involved split-thickness skin grafts, leading to complete disease eradication and wound closure.

    Implications:
