I summarises the report into 6 dot points using chatgpt, i got diffuse thinning hair with dandruff and red inflammation often
- The biopsies show inflammatory alopecia with deep dermal inflammation and a focal superficial perifollicular granulomatous response.
- The inflammation is predominantly located within the subcutis and is accompanied by lipoatrophy.
- The features suggest a folliculitis pattern, but the inflammation is of a chronic type and may have been modified by treatment.
- There is accompanying miniaturization of hairs, which is not typical of androgenetic alopecia and is likely a consequence of the ongoing chronic inflammation.
- The differential diagnosis is favored to be semi-quiescent folliculitis decalvans, but syphilitic alopecia and non-scarring lupus alopecia could also have similar features.
- Fungal infection could also show identical features, but no fungal organisms have been identified despite extensive examination.
