Folliculitis decalvans is an inflammatory presentation of cicatrizing alopecia characterized by inflammatory perifollicular papules and pustules. It generally occurs in adult males, predominantly involving the vertex and occipital areas of the scalp. The use of dermatoscopy in hair and scalp diseases improves diagnostic accuracy. Some trichoscopic findings, such as follicular tufts, perifollicular erythema, crusts and pustules, can be observed in folliculitis decalvans. More research on the pathogenesis and treatment options of this disfiguring disease is required for improving patient management.

In recent years, several studies have demonstrated the involvement of the intestinal microbiota in immune-mediated diseases such as diabetes, ulcerative colitis, and multiple sclerosis. There are few data on the follicular microbiome and its role in the pathogenesis of scalp diseases. Some studies show influence of dysbiosis on these diseases, and manipulation of the microbiome may represent a possible therapeu- tic option. This article reviews current knowledge regarding the impact of dysbiosis on dermatological diseases of the scalp, such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, lichen planus pilaris, frontal fibrosing alopecia and decalvant folliculitis. A broader understanding of this may suggest additional treatments beyond conventional therapies.

Tinea capitis is more common in children than in adults. Due to the low incidence of this condition among adults, it is frequently misdiagnosed as other scalp diseases, such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and cellulitis. Herein, we describe an 82-year-old woman who presented with erythematous scaly patches and alopecia. Mycological examinations revealed tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis. The patient was then successfully treated with antifungal medications.
