Tufted Hair Folliculitis Decalvans as a Clinical Diagnostic Sign

Folliculitis decalvans is a rare neutrophilic primary scarring alopecia linked to Staphylococcus aureus colonization and immune response disruptions. It is chronic and progressive, leading to irreversible damage, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis, with tufted hairs as a key sign. Treatment options, including oral antistaphylococcal antibiotics, exist but are not entirely effective, with frequent recurrences. This case is notable for its unusual presentation regarding patient age and sex.
