The course of the disease is typically chronic and relapsing. Thus, numerous therapies may be needed. Treatment extended beyond the resolution of the manifestations may be considered to avoid recurrences. As folliculitis decalvans is a form of scarring alopecia, the aim of any therapy is to control inflammation and prevent further hair loss. Hair regrowth cannot be expected. The aim of the EADV Task Force on Hair Diseases position statement was to propose diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations for folliculitis decalvans. The therapeutic algorithm was created based on a literature review and clinical experience of the members of the EADV Task Force on Hair Diseases who are experts in hair disorders. In patients with folliculitis decalvans with moderate or severe inflammation, oral antibiotics should be recommended. In patients with highly active disease, a short course of oral glucocorticosteroids may be beneficial. Oral isotretinoin should be considered as the first\u2010line therapy in patients with mild active disease (perifollicular erythema and hyperkeratosis, no pustules or crusts). Moreover, isotretinoin should be recommended in cases of refractory disease or persistent inflammatory lesions. Photodynamic therapy, biologics (preferably adalimumab), JAK inhibitors, oral dapsone, hydroxychloroquine or cyclosporine may also be effective. As an addition to systemic treatment, topical or intralesional corticosteroids should be recommended. Topical tacrolimus 0.1% or dapsone 5% may be considered as second\u2010line topical therapeutic options. In patients with folliculitis decalvans, surgical excision or laser therapy can be useful. Hair transplantation can be considered in patients with inactive disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.20687","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,15]],"date-time":"2025-04-15T02:18:11Z","timestamp":1744683491000},"page":"1385-1394","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Management of folliculitis decalvans: The\n                    <scp>EADV<\/scp>\n                    task force on hair diseases position statement"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4984-3589","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Wa\u015bkiel\u2010Burnat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Medical University of Warsaw  Warsaw Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3981-1527","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michela","family":"Starace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Unit IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero\u2010Universitaria di Bologna  Bologna Italy"},{"name":"Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences University of Bologna  Bologna Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matilde","family":"Iorizzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Private Dermatology Practice  Lugano\/Bellinzona Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8189-7486","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandros","family":"Katoulis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2nd Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Medical School, \u201cAttikon\u201d General University Hospital National and Kapodistrian University of Athens  Athens Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9255-8196","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zoe","family":"Apalla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2nd Dermatology Department, Medical School, Faculty of Health Sciences Aristotle University of Thessaloniki  Thessaloniki Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leila","family":"Asfour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Dermatology Centre, Salford Royal Hospital Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust  Salford UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3121-5667","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Azael","family":"Freites\u2010Martinez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oncodermatology Clinic Hospital Ruber Juan Bravo and Universidad Europea  Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8997-9889","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dimitrios","family":"Ioannides","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Department of Dermatology Aristotle University School of Medicine, Hospital of Skin and Venereal Diseases  Thessaloniki Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seyed Morteza","family":"Seyed Jafari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Inselspital Bern University Hospital  Bern Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2570-4584","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Awatef","family":"Kelati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Department, University Hospital Cheikh Khalifa, and the University Hospital Mohammed VI.
