Foliculite descalvante é caracterizada pela progressão da foliculite do couro cabeludo para inflamação extensa, destruição folicular e cicatrizes. Em uma variante chamada foliculite em tufos, os fios de cabelo ficam aglomerados em tufos contendo uma dúzia ou mais fios. Em contraste com o curso na grande maioria das pessoas que desenvolvem uma foliculite pustulosa bacteriana do couro cabeludo, os indivíduos com foliculite descalvante parecem incapazes de erradicar Staphylococcus aureus do folículo piloso mesmo com antibioticoterapia apropriada. A formação recorrente de áreas pustulosas com inflamação e descamação circundantes leva a extensas cicatrizes permanentes e queda de cabelo. | |||
