Abstract:
A 37-year-old male with localized trichorrhexis nodosa on the scalp is described. Two circumscribed broken hair patches that had occurred as a consequence of repetitive friction trauma were seen on both retroauricular areas of scalp. Scanning electron microscopic findings revealed typical trichorrhexis nodosa.
