Innovative Management of Recalcitrant Dissecting Cellulitis With Compression TherapyDissecting cellulitis of the scalp, also known as perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens, is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory disease that often results in scarring alopecia. 1 Management of this condition includes medical and sometimes surgical treatments, but disease control can be challenging, and therapies are often ineffective or only temporarily effective. 2 Medical therapies include oral isotretinoin, which many consider to be the treatment of choice 1,3,4 ; antiseptics; topical, intralesional, and systemic steroids; topical and oral antibiotics; dapsone; colchicine; oral zinc sulfate; and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors. 1-5 Surgical therapies, reserved for only severe, recalcitrant cases, include incision and drainage, local or complete excision with split-thickness skin grafting, laser hair removal, photodynamic therapy, and irradiation. 4,5 We report use of an innovative technique in the management of this condition.
