    TLDR Antimicrobial therapy can help manage Folliculitis Decalvans.
    The study presented a case series of 13 patients with Folliculitis Decalvans (FD), a rare inflammatory scalp condition leading to scarring alopecia. The patients were treated with selected antimicrobial agents. The results indicated that antimicrobial therapy could be effective in managing FD, although the unclear etiology of the condition made treatment challenging.
