Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Family Medicine, 3e AB - A 32-year-old man presents with hair loss along with chronic pustular eruptions of his scalp. Previous biopsy has shown folliculitis decalvans. He has had many courses of antibiotics, but the hair loss continues to progress. The active pustular lesions are cultured and grow out methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The patient is treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole twice daily and mupirocin to the nasal mucosa, twice daily for 5 days. Two weeks later, the pustular lesions are less prominent, although the alopecia is permanent (Figures 197-1 and 197-2).
