This case report details a rare instance of localized hypertrichosis and dyshidrotic dermatitis occurring together after cast application. Both conditions resolved similarly to when they appear independently.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Orthopedics
  • Case Report

Background:

  • Localized hypertrichosis and dyshidrotic dermatitis are individually recognized conditions.
  • Their simultaneous occurrence in a single patient is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with localized hypertrichosis and ipsilateral dyshidrotic dermatitis post-fracture and cast immobilization.
  • The clinical presentation and management mirrored those of the conditions when occurring separately.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis of post-cast hypertrichosis was based on distribution, temporal link to the cast, and exclusion of other causes.
  • The study suggests trauma or the cast itself may have played a role in the development of dyshidrotic dermatitis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare concurrent presentation of post-cast dermatological conditions.
  • It prompts consideration of the cast and associated trauma as potential etiologic factors for both hypertrichosis and dermatitis.
