Summary

This study tests biologic drugs for folliculitis decalvans, a rare scalp disease that causes painful pustules and permanent hair loss. Current antibiotics only work about half the time and the condition often returns. The trial will enroll 120 adults who have already tried at least two antibiotic treatments, and will measure if biologics can reduce disease severity over 6 months.
