RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Folliculitis decalvans (FD) is a rare neutrophilic cicatricial alopecia that poses a therapeutic challenge. OBJECTIVES: To describe the therapeutic response in a large number of cases of FD with long-term follow-up and analyze potential prognostic factors associated with severity of form and with a better therapeutic response. METHODS: This multicenter prospective study included patients with FD who had a minimum of 5 years of follow-up. Severity was assessed by the maximum diameter of the cicatricial area. Therapeutic response was evaluated according to stabilization of the size of the cicatricial areas and the improvement in clinical symptoms. RESULTS: A total of 60 patients (37 men [61.7%] and 23 women [38.3%]) with a mean age of 40 years were included. Earlier age of onset (P = .01) was statistically associated with severity of form. Treatment with rifampicin and clindamycin, tetracyclines, and intralesional steroids was the most effective. No statistically significant prognostic factors predicting a better therapeutic response were found. LIMITATIONS: Because FD is a rare disease, the main limitation was the sample size. CONCLUSIONS: An earlier age of onset was associated with the severe form of the disease. The proposed specific therapeutic protocol can be a very useful tool in clinical dermatologic practice.

RESUMO

Folliculitis decalvans (FD) is a primary neutrophilic scarring alopecia characterized by perifollicular papules, crusts, and pustules frequently located on the vertex. FD may affect young men and women. Since it may lead to hair loss, it can have a negative impact on patients' quality of life. Nevertheless, studies have focused on clinical, prognostic, and therapeutic aspects without considering the psychological impact of FD. In our study, we found that FD patients experienced a considerable impact on their quality of life. Interestingly, almost half of the patients considered that their alopecia was related to a poor medical care in their past. To our knowledge, this is the first description of the impact of FD on patients' quality of life, and it highlights the importance of psychological support for these patients.
