Impact of Folliculitis Decalvans on Quality of Life and Subjective Perception of Disease.
Skin Appendage Disorders 2018 January
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.
