Folliculitis decalvans (FD) is a rare disease that causes inflammation on the scalp, leading to scarring alopecia. It commonly affects young and middle-aged men and is characterized by pustules, papules, scarring, hemorrhagic crusts, and erosions. The exact cause of FD is not fully understood, but it is believed that may play a role in its development. The condition is thought to be influenced by a combination of genetic, allergic, infectious, and immunological factors. This report describes a 20-year-old male patient who experienced painful pustules on his scalp for six months. The pustules first appeared on the occipital region and then spread to the crown. The patient was diagnosed with FD after a thorough clinical and pus culture examination. Treatment involved a month-long prescription of doxycycline (100 mg BD) and topical ozenoxacin (2%), which led to successful remission of the lesions.
脱发性毛囊炎（FD）是一种罕见疾病，可导致头皮炎症，进而引起瘢痕性脱发。它通常影响中青年男性，其特征为脓疱、丘疹、瘢痕、出血性结痂和糜烂。FD的确切病因尚未完全明确，但据信[此处原文缺失内容]可能在其发病过程中起作用。该病被认为受遗传、过敏、感染和免疫因素的综合影响。本报告描述了一名20岁男性患者，其头皮出现疼痛性脓疱6个月。脓疱最初出现在枕部区域，随后蔓延至头顶。经过全面的临床和脓液培养检查后，该患者被诊断为FD。治疗包括为期一个月的多西环素（100毫克，每日两次）处方和外用奥昔沙星（2%），这使得皮损成功缓解。
