Barber's hair sinus in a female hairdresser: uncommon manifestation of an occupational dermatosis.

Hairdressers are prone to developing occupational skin diseases, particularly hand eczema of different origins. Rather uncommon, however, is the so-called barber's hair sinus that is caused by hair fragments penetrating the skin preferably in the interdigital spaces of their hands. Whereas, to date, the disease has almost exclusively been reported to occur on the hands of male hairdressers, we herein present the first case of a female hairdresser who developed a barber's hair sinus on one of her feet.
