Scalp folliculitis is a common condition in dermatological practice and a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The authors describe a case of chronic suppurative folliculitis in a 53-year-old man who had bore the condition for 18 years. The control of chronic staphylococcal infection with sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim for 7 months, with progressive shaving of keloid lesions (5 sessions) and application of 90% trichloroacetic acid on wounds up until re-epithelialization (7 months), were successful in treating the disease.
