Dissecting Cellulitis of Scalp - A Rarity in Female Patients

Abstract

Dissecting cellulitis of scalp is a rare dermatosis of the scalp that has a chronic and recalcitrant course, eventually leading to scarring alopecia. It is a condition which is predominantly seen in young adult or middle-aged males. Here we present the case of a 26-year-old female patient, who presented with lesions on the scalp for 6 months. Patient was further investigated and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology.
