Abstract

Cutaneous Pili Migrans (CPM), a rare skin condition, is composed of hair fragments embedded in the skin epidermis and dermis after skin trauma or for unknown reasons. To the best of our knowledge, there are few reports on cases of CPM in which hair is exposed outside of the skin. Herein, we report an unusual and rare case of 45 days old Chinese male infant with CPM.

Keywords: burrowing hair; creeping hair; cutaneous pili migrans.
