“…Woolly hair nevus is a benign, uncommon condition that is characterized by hair changes, that become coiled and slightly hypopigmented. 1 , 2 It affects both sexes equally, and usually develop in the first years of life, although there are reports of development in adolescence. 3 Hutchinson et al classified woolly hair in three groups: two generalized and genetically transmitted forms (1-autosomal dominant inheritance; 2-autosomal recessive inheritance) and a localized, non-hereditary form (woolly hair nevus).…”

Woolly hair nevus is a rare condition characterized by a structural anomaly of the hair, restricted to certain areas of the scalp. The hair becomes coiled and slightly hypopigmented. The term woolly hair refers to changes that affect all the scalp and has a hereditary character. We present a case of woolly hair nevus, that developed at the age of 2 years, associated with dental diastema and verrucous epidermal nevus.

Woolly hair nevus (WHN) is a rare hair condition, with only a few cases reported. It affects young children of both sexes and currently, there is no available treatment. When WHN is associated with an epidermal nevus, further study is required to rule out ophthalmologic and neurologic abnormalities. We present the case of a Chilean 3-year-old healthy girl with a WHN, with no other clinical findings. This case illustrates a WHN in which the benign and chronic nature of the disease must be advised to the parents in order to prevent further concerns.
