Abstract :
[en] Folliculitis decalvans consists of recurrent patchy painful folliculitis of the scalp causing scarring alopecia. The physiopathology of this condition is still unclear, but is likely a manifestation of chronic neutrophilic bacterial folliculitis. Numerous topical and systemic treatments (corticoteroids, anti-staphylococcal antibiotics) have been used with variable results. Based on the dapsone antimicrobial activity and its anti-inflammatory action especially directed to the neutrophil metabolism, we treated two patients with severe folliculitis decalvans with this drug.
