Article Synopsis
- Dissecting cellulitis of the scalp (DCS) negatively affects patients' physical well-being and body image, and conventional treatments often fail, prompting the exploration of alternative therapies like 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT).
- The study involved 12 male patients treated with ALA-PDT, with results assessed through symptom scores and photographic comparisons taken before and after the treatment, focusing on pain relief and recurrence rates.
- Results indicated that 75% of patients experienced significant reductions in symptoms, with notable improvements in pain relief, subcutaneous sinus tract symptoms, and alopecia, along with a decrease in inflammatory cells in the lesions.
