    Glossary Plica Neuropathica

    hair becomes severely matted and tangled into a dense mass

    Plica Neuropathica, also known as Polish Plait or Plica Polonica, is a rare condition where hair becomes severely matted and entangled, forming a hard, dense mass. This can result from neglect, poor hair care, or certain scalp conditions, and may sometimes be associated with psychological or neurological disorders. Treatment typically involves cutting the matted hair and addressing any underlying issues.
