ABSTRACT

Dissecting cellulitis of the scalp (DCS), or perifoliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens, is an uncommon inflammatory disease characterized by pustules, nodules and abscesses with interconnecting sinus tracts that could develop sparring alopecia. It is a chronic, fluctuating and relapsing disease. We report a case of a 16-year-old male with DCS and good respose to oral isotretinoin.
