Folliculitis decalvans refers to those who have folliculitis on the scalp and who have formed punctiform or patchy scars due to hair loss. Because the hair follicle is damaged, the general hair cannot be regenerated after healing, but because the infection is mainly limited to the hair follicle, the dermis between the hair follicles has not been dissolved and damaged, and the overall dermal layer structure is still there, so no scars remain.

The principle of local treatment of folliculitis is itching and sterilization, and the local remains clean and dry. Can be coated with 2% to 2.5% of iodine, several times a day. After the abscess in the hair follicle matures, the hair can prolapse naturally, and a small amount of pus and blood secretion can be cured after it overflows or is absorbed. Local treatment is the main method and systemic symptoms are mild. Antibacterial drugs such as sulfa and penicillin can be taken orally. Patients should take appropriate rest and strengthen nutrition.
