Active clinical trials for "Folliculitis"

Patients will receive local prophylactic treatment (Diprosone cream) during 8 weeks from the beginning of the EGF-R inhibitors treatment, on the areas of the body susceptible to be affected by folliculitis.

Acne Keloidalis Nuchae (AKN) is a long standing hair follicle disease with bumps and scars on the skin of the back of the head and neck. The purpose of this new study is to determine how well a hair removal laser (NdYag Laser) works in treating AKN.

The main purpose of this study is to determine if applying mupirocin into soldiers noses who are colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) will reduce infections in them and their cohort of fellow soldiers.

We retrospectively reviewed 1317 patients who had undergone HT and completed 9-month follow-up between January 2018 and June 2021 at 4 medical centers. The incidence of postoperative folliculitis and the patient demographics were assessed. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors, and the characteristics of different types of folliculitis were compared.

The folliculitis decalvans (FD) is an orphan disease , common in consultation specialized on scalp. This disease is currently not curable, responsible for significant for patients. The pathophysiology is poorly understood, Staphylococcus aureus (SA) appears to play a role, never previously studied, and the study will attempt to clarify it. Controversies in the literature on the pathophysiological hypotheses can be summed up as follows : FD is it an infectious folliculitis where SA (almost always found on the lesions plays a direct role possibly aided by a lack of local immune protection , or is it a pustular inflammatory unknown cause where the SA has no direct role but is a cofactor or a simple germ superinfection. Our study has plans to bring new evidence to help decide between these two opposite but not mutually exclusive concepts .
