It is clinically characterized by fragile, brittle, coarse and lusterless hairs, due to uneven light refl ection on the twisted hair surface. Pili torti may be associated with neurological abnormalities and ectodermal dysplasias. There is no specifi c treatment for this condition, but it may improve spontaneously after puberty. We report a case of pili torti in a child who presented fragile, brittle, diffi cult to comb hair. The patient had no comorbidities.

    Global Dermatology Clinical Case ISSN: 2056-7863 Integrative approach to a difficult trichology patient Natalie Barunova* International Scientific-Practical Centre “Trichology”, Moscow, Russia Abstract Folliculitis decalvans belongs to a group of primary cicatricial alopecias with neutrophilic inflammation of the scalp. It is characterized by recurrent purulent follicular exudation with inevitable destruction of pilosebaceous unit as an outcome of the disease. Staphylococcus aureus is supposed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease. The treatment is usually focused on the eradication of S. aureus. A clinical case of effective adjuvant treatment of folliculitis decalvans patient is presented in this manuscript. The previous traditional treatment with antibiotics, topical glucocorticosteroids, oral prednisone and retinoid treatment had minor efficacy and subsequent recurrence. Integrative approach to this difficult case brought the patient into remission and improve the patient’s condition.

It is a form of hair shaft disorder with increased fragility. The condition is classified into inherited and acquired. Inherited forms may be either isolated or associated with numerous genetic diseases or syndromes (e.g., Menkes disease, Björnstad syndrome, Netherton syndrome, and Bazex-Dupré-Christol syndrome). Moreover, pili torti may be a feature of various ectodermal dysplasias (such as Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome and Ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defects-cleft lip/palate syndrome). Acquired pili torti was described in numerous forms of alopecia (e.g., lichen planopilaris, discoid lupus erythematosus, dissecting Citation: Hoffmann, A.; cellulitis, folliculitis decalvans, alopecia areata) as well as neoplastic and systemic diseases (such Wa´skiel-Burnat,A.; Zółkiewicz,˙ J.; as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, scalp metastasis of breast cancer, anorexia nervosa, malnutrition, Blicharz, L.; Rakowska, A.; Goldust, M.; Olszewska, M.; Rudnicka, L.

Acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN) is a syndrome of chronic folliculitis that manifests as follicular-based pustules and papules on the occipital region of the scalp, which may eventually lead to cicatricial alopecia. Various diseases such as cutis laksa, deafness, aminoaciduria, mental retardation, and atopy have been reported to be associated with KFSD, but AKN is a rare cutaneous manifestation. Herein, we report the case of a patient with KFSD associated with AKN. He was presented to our clinic with follicular-based pustules and papules that had been progressively advancing for five years that were now manifesting as cicatricial alopecia.
