January 2015 in “Springer eBooks” Hair damage shows as fragility, dullness, and discoloration, varies by ethnicity, and is worsened by cosmetic procedures and diseases.
January 2005 in “Journal of Cutaneous Pathology” This report describes a unique benign neoplasm on the nail unit called onychoblastoma, which histologically resembles a trichoblastoma, marking the first documented case of this tumor type.
