Abstract
Background: Folliculitis Decalvans is a neutrophilic infammation of the scalp characterized by painful recurrent purulent follicular exsudation resulting in primary cicatricial alopecia.

Objective: The authors present a case series of 19 patients treated with oral azythromycin. Conclusions: Most of the patients improved and no important side effects were reported.
