Peripilar hair casts

A 7-year-old girl who wore a tight ponytail every day presented at our dermatology clinic with whitish particles bound to the hairs of her scalp, a problem that had existed for a number of months (Fig 1). Pediculosis capitis was suspected by the physicians who attended her at another clinic, and permethrin shampoo was prescribed on several occasions. However, no improvement was seen.
