Description
Emin Tabipoğlu and co-authors report a rare case of a scalp abscess that kept returning after a flesh-destroying infection, in this 2025 case report. A seventy-five-year-old woman with diabetes first suffered the aggressive infection across her face and neck. Pus then gathered again and again beneath her scalp, between its tough sheet and the skull.
Each drainage brought only brief relief, because a capsule had formed around the pocket. The infection settled for good only when surgeons removed the whole capsule and matched antibiotics to culture results. The authors stress full excision and close follow-up in such frail patients.
