Dissecting cellulitis of the scalp or dissecting folliculitis also known as "perifoliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens" (PCAS), is a rare, severe and distinct dermatological disease and cause of hair loss. It most probably occurs because of follicular occlusion via hyperkeratosis, having the same mechanism of acnea conglobata and hidradenitis suppurativa. These dermatoses may be associated or may have an isolated evolution. PCAS is one of the primitive cicatricial air loss of neutrophilic type. What is characteristic for the histopathologic picture of the disease is the deep inflammatory infiltrate, placed at the reticular derm or hypoderm level. snip.. Here is the case of a 24-year-old male with records of acne conglobata and cicatricial hair loss of the scalp, with relapsed inflammatory nodular lesions on the surface of the alopecic plaques and follicular pustules on their margin. The patient had followed before hospitalizing a systemic treatment with antibiotics (azithromycin, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, in therapeutic schemes that the patient cannot mention, but anyway of short time) and after that a treatment with retinoids (isotretinoin, 20-30 mg/day, in two successive therapies of one month each). The evolution of the disease under these treatments was with outbreaks and short times of remission of the acne lesions and nodular lesions of the scalp. The clinical diagnosis of PCAS is difficult, especially in the initial stage of the disease, as it was the case of the patient presented here. snip....

Hair loss treatment with topical finasteride
December 2nd, 2009.. Over all, in this recent study, by comparing finasteride tablet and gel groups with each other for hair loss treatment, it was found that, the therapeutic response to the tablet group was better than gel group, but in fifth and sixth months of treatment, treatment response in both groups was ideitical.

Psoriatic alopecia: acute and chronic hair loss

Psoriatic alopecia: acute and chronic hair loss in 47 patients with scalp psoriasis.
Runne U, Kroneisen-Wiersma P.
Symptomatic hair loss and alopecia were seen in psoriatic lesions of the scalp in 47 patients. snip... Hair loss varied in intensity from protracted to moderate and massive (36% in tufts). It presented as acute (51%), chronic (36%) or chronic recurrent (13%). Thirteen patients (28%) became aware of the hair loss with the beginning of therapy. snip... This infiltrate can alter the follicle epithelium and may lead to a granulomatous foreign-body reaction with destruction of the hair follicle. After topical antipsoriatic treatment, most of the reexamined patients showed complete hair regrowth, while 5 developed a residual scarring. Therefore, in the patient with circumscribed or diffuse symptomatic alopecia, with or without scarring, psoriatic alopecia should be considered.
