► In this video, we explore the case of a patient with a pre-existing diagnosis of seborrheic dermatitis, who experienced a complication due to hair extensions. While hair extensions may seem like a simple cosmetic solution, they can cause unexpected problems, especially in patients with dermatologic conditions. The patient, seeking to restore her hair’s beauty, noticed hair loss due to insufficient care of her seborrheic dermatitis. When she opted to use hair extensions, the traction from the extensions led to the creation of micro-dilations in her scalp, which ultimately became infected, resulting in folliculitis.

In this video, we break down the diagnosis, the causes, and the treatment plan. The patient’s care involves two main components: the removal of the extensions and the introduction of both topical and systemic antibiotics to treat the infection. We also discuss the critical point that patients with skin conditions should always consult with their dermatologist before making any cosmetic decisions that could affect their skin health.

This case highlights the importance of patient education, careful consideration of their medical history, and the role of dermatologic guidance when undergoing cosmetic treatments. Watch the video to learn more about this patient’s journey, the complications of hair extensions in dermatologic patients, and effective treatments for folliculitis.
