ABSTRACT
We reported a case of 22 years old male with perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens. He had multiple fistular tracts, abscess, and cicatrized alopecia on the vertex and occiput. Compressing the abscess lesion, pus discharge was shown. Also he had acne conglobata and acne vulgaris on the face and nuchal area. On the bacterial culture, coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus was isolated. These lesions were persistent in spite of frequent incision and drainage and antibiotic therapy. Considering it having a pathogenesis like acne conglobata, we tried him 13-cis-retinoic acid that had good effect in the treatment of cystic or conglobate acne. Three months after treatment, the lesions disappeared completely.
