Sycosis vulgaris is a kind of infectious deep folliculitis. In some case, there are resistance to antibiotics, causing difficulty in treatment.
We experienced a patient of sycosis vulgaris with multiple erythematous follicular papules and pustules on the beard region and scalp. He had been given several medications in other hospitals, but he was not improved. We treated him with roxithromycin, an analogue of erythromycin for two weeks, but failed. After laboratory investigations including antibiotics sensitivity test, topical mupirocin was tried. Skin lesions were dramatically cleared
