    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pediatric Dermatology
    • Trichology

    Background:

    • Congenital hair anomalies require precise diagnosis.
    • Nevus of the hair follicle is a rare condition affecting hair structure.
    • Differentiating between similar hair shaft abnormalities is crucial for accurate management.

    Observation:

    • A case report of a three-year-old white male with a scalp hair follicle nevus is presented.
    • The patient exhibited distinct "curly hair nevus" with thin, fair, loosely curled hair.
    • Associated findings included an epidermal nevus on the neck.

    Findings:

    • The affected hair shafts were short, with a large spiral, lacking significant torsion.
    • Microscopic examination revealed a nearly circular cross-section of the hair.

  • Key differentiating features from woolly hair nevus were noted.

    • Implications:

    • This case contributes to understanding the spectrum of hair follicle nevi.
    • Highlights the importance of detailed clinical and microscopic examination for diagnosing rare hair disorders.
    • Informs differential diagnosis in pediatric hair abnormalities.
