A 9‐year‐old girl presented with slow hair growth and hair thinning since birth. Additionally, she had short stature and abnormally short fingers; genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis of trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) type 1. After 4 months of topical minoxidil treatment, hair density and length significantly improved diffusely throughout the scalp without evidence of hypertrichosis. This case underscores the therapeutic potential of topical minoxidil for TRPS, paving the way for improved patient quality of life.
