In primary cicatricial alopecia (PCA), the hair follicle is the main target for destruction with sparing of the interfollicular reticular dermis. The inflammatory cells target and destroy the stem cells in the bulge area of hair follicles. PCA are divided into subgroups depending upon the predominant inflammatory infiltrates. The neutrophilic PCA group comprises folliculitis decalvans (FD) and dissecting cellulitis/folliculitis of the scalp (perifolliculitis abscedens et suffodiens) [1-5].

They can directly infect human through a contact with the infested animal or human and indirectly by acquiring the infective materials from the environment [2]. The infection mainly occurs in young camels less than three years [3]. Trichophyton and Microsporum genera are responsible for the majority of human infections causing more virulent disease when the infection are transmitted from animal to human than that transmitted from human to human [4]. Outbreaks of Trichophyton infection transmitted from cattle to humans are also reported [5]. Tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp) is the most common fungal infection in children.
