A Case Report of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Inhibitors in an Active Duty Service Member with Dissecting Cellulitis of the Scalp Resistant to Treatment.

Dissecting cellulitis of the scalp represents a disease of follicular occlusion that may be worsened by tight-fitting clothing, such as the patrol cap or advanced combat helmet used by military service members. Treatment poses a challenge to the clinician, and the treatment of choice, oral retinoids, may not improve the condition sufficiently to maintain active duty status. Early treatment augmentation with tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors may improve efficacy of oral retinoids and prevent medical separation of the active duty service member.
