Summary
Hair-induced creeping eruption, a rare skin condition, occurs when a hair fragment embeds in the skin. Prompt removal of the embedded hair fragment leads to the lesion
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Medical Case Reports
Background:
- Hair-induced creeping eruption is a rare dermatological condition.
- Primarily documented in Asian populations, it involves a hair fragment embedded in the skin.
Observation:
- A case of painful, linear, blackish eruption on the neck of a 39-year-old Thai female is presented.
- The lesion exhibited characteristics consistent with hair-induced creeping eruption.
Findings:
- Surgical excision of the proximal end and forceps removal of the embedded hair fragment resolved the eruption.
- The removed black line was identified as a hair fragment.
Implications:
- This case highlights the importance of considering hair-induced creeping eruption in differential diagnoses.
- Early recognition and removal of the hair fragment can lead to rapid resolution of the condition.
