Tufted hair folliculitis is a rare, progressive pattern of scarring alopecia that affects the scalp. Its characteristic feature is the presence of groups of 10-15 hairs emerging from a single follicular opening. The cause of this disorder is unknown.
Dear Dr Schön, prof. Perton mentioned this point a long years ago at Rook\ Ebling text book 6th edition Dermatology, as he noticed that Rifampicin for 10 weeks cured one case anecdotally.
I agree with Michael Schon, that is to do the same medical treatment as with suppurative hidradenities.
I treated one case with oral rifampicin 600mg once daily empty stomach and cotrimoxazole double strength twice daily daily for two months, however there are chances of recurrences.
I think that whatever the treatment there always chance of recurrences.
