This case report describes erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp triggered by contact dermatitis from a glued-on hair piece, marking the first instance of this specific cause.

According to this source, wigs and hair prosthetics can enhance social confidence and quality of life for patients with alopecia, especially when other treatments fall short aesthetically, but care is needed to prevent issues like traction alopecia and contact dermatitis.

This review highlights the inconsistent and often insufficient global coverage of cranial prostheses for medical hair loss, with variations depending on healthcare system models and a general lack of standardized recognition as medically necessary devices.

This review provides dermatologists with a comprehensive overview of hair prostheses for alopecia patients, emphasizing key considerations such as hair coverage needs, material types, financial options, and adverse effects to better advise patients on suitable hair camouflage solutions.

This study observed that while hair camouflage techniques can boost confidence and reduce stigma for Black women with alopecia, they can also contribute to further hair damage; clinicians should consider safer styling practices as part of individualized care strategies.
