Abstract
A 74-year-old woman presented with an 18-month history of broken vertex scalp hairs as a consequence of chronic rubbing. Light microscopy of the 1-2 cm hairs demonstrated distal brush-like splitting. Education and behavioural therapy were instituted. After 4 months of reduced rubbing of the vertex scalp hairs, the hairs re-grew with no evidence of persistent hair shaft abnormality.Entities:
