Postcast Hypertrichosis in a Patient with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
TLDR A patient with hair loss condition grew excessive hair in areas covered by a cast.
The letter to the editor described a case of postcast hypertrichosis in a patient with frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA). The patient, who had been diagnosed with FFA, developed excessive hair growth in areas previously covered by a cast. This phenomenon was notable as FFA typically results in hair loss, and the occurrence of hypertrichosis in this context was unusual. The authors highlighted the need for further investigation into the mechanisms behind this paradoxical hair growth in FFA patients.
