    TLDR The pubic hair loss was likely due to anorexia nervosa.
    A 17-year-old female with a history of anorexia nervosa experienced a 3-month period of patchy hair loss in the pubic region. Examination showed irregular hair loss with varying hair lengths, follicular hyperkeratosis, and hyperpigmentation. Despite decreased hair density and broken hairs, the hair-pull test was negative, and tests for fungal infections were also negative. Biochemical tests and imaging studies were normal, suggesting the hair loss was not due to an underlying systemic or infectious cause.
