    TLDR Laser therapy may effectively treat persistent scalp inflammation.
    Folliculitis decalvans (FD) is a rare inflammatory scalp disorder that often leads to scarring alopecia and is typically resistant to conventional antibiotic and immunomodulatory treatments. This document presented a case of persistent FD that achieved long-term remission following treatment with a long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser, suggesting that this laser therapy could be a promising alternative for managing recalcitrant FD.
