Abstract
Perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens (PCAS) and acne conglobate (AC) are often treated with isotretinoin and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors in Europe and the United States. Treatment with these drugs is uncommon in Asia, and alternative treatment options are limited. In this paper, we report the case of a Japanese patient who presented with PCAS and AC and was treated successfully with adalimumab.
