Abstract:
Cutaneous Pili Migrans is a rare creeping eruption typically presenting as a linear black track on the feet. Involvement of the scrotum is extremely uncommon, and an annular morphology has not been reported. A 40-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic black ring-like lesion beneath the scrotal epidermis. Dermoscopy revealed a thick circular hair shaft embedded with minimal inflammation, confirming the diagnosis. Without intervention, the lesion spontaneously resolved within one month. This first report of annular scrotal Cutaneous Pili Migrans expands the clinical spectrum and highlights the role of dermoscopy in avoiding unnecessary procedures.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...
