Perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens (PCAS) is a chronic skin inflammatory disease characterized by relapsing folliculitis and painful, fluctuant abscesses, sinus tracts, and scars. The treatment of PCAS is challenging and clinical practice varies a lot, and how to choose the best treatment for PCAS is a real problem for clinicians. We reviewed articles providing treatment options for patients with PCAS in different databases. Dermatologists may find this review helpful to meet the challenges of PCAS management, but there is still a lack of authoritative guidelines. In the future, more robust randomized control trials are needed to determine the best treatment for PCAS.
穿凿性毛囊周炎(PCAS)是一种慢性皮肤炎症性疾病,其特征为反复发作的毛囊炎和疼痛、波动的脓肿、窦道和瘢痕。PCAS 的治疗具有挑战性,临床实践差异很大,如何为 PCAS 患者选择最佳治疗方法是临床医生面临的实际问题。我们在不同的数据库中检索了为 PCAS 患者提供治疗选择的文章。皮肤科医生可能会发现这篇综述有助于应对 PCAS 管理的挑战,但仍缺乏权威指南。未来需要更多强有力的随机对照试验来确定 PCAS 的最佳治疗方法。
