    Author: Berne B, Venge P, Ohman S.
    Journal: Arch Dermatol; 1985 Aug; 121(8):1028-30. PubMed ID: 4026339.
    Abstract:
    A 24-year-old man with a one-year history of perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens (Hoffman) was treated with oral zinc sulfate. Complete healing was seen after three months and the treatment was continued for a total of six months. No relapse has occurred during a five-year follow-up. The mechanisms through which zinc therapy might influence inflammatory conditions are not fully understood.
