The condition is classified as a primary neutrophilic cicatricial alopecia and is characterized by pustules, erosions, and scaly-crusty lesions, often associated with pain, itching, and burning sensations. The pathogenesis is not fully understood, though\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic>\n                    infection and immune dysregulation are implicated. FD is a challenging condition to diagnose and manage due to its similarities with other scarring alopecias such as dissecting cellulitis, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, and lichen planopilaris. We report the case of a 40-year-old female presenting with itchy follicular papules and patchy hair loss over the frontotemporal region. This rare case highlights the clinical and histological features of FD and the importance of differentiating it from other scarring alopecias to ensure appropriate treatment.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijabmr.ijabmr_414_24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,9]],"date-time":"2025-01-09T14:01:05Z","timestamp":1736431265000},"page":"63-65","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Folliculitis Decalvans: An Uncommon Case Report with Review of Literature"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Gyanendra","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rajkot, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yashdeep","family":"Pathania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rajkot, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Parth","family":"Goswami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rajkot, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shilpi","family":"Tyagi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rajkot, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tarang","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rajkot, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20250110","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"878","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2018.05.1240","article-title":"Folliculitis decalvans: Effectiveness of therapies and prognostic factors in a multicenter series of 60 patients with long-term follow-up","volume":"79","author":"Miguel-G\u00f3mez","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Am Acad Dermatol"},{"key":"R2-20250110","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"238","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1529-8019.2008.00204.x","article-title":"Folliculitis decalvans","volume":"21","author":"Otberg","year":"2008","journal-title":"Dermatol Ther"},{"key":"R4-20250110","first-page":"1","article-title":"Research on atrophic alopecia","volume":"6","author":"Brocq","year":"1905","journal-title":"Ann Dermatol Syphiligr"},{"key":"R5-20250110","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2004.06.015","article-title":"Update on primary cicatricial alopecias","volume":"53","author":"Ross","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Am Acad Dermatol"},{"key":"R6-20250110","first-page":"122","article-title":"\"Abscessing and burrowing perifolliculitis of the scalp\" -
