We report a case of a 22-year-old Chinese male with a 4 cm-long black linear rash that migrated from the anterior abdomen to the left lower abdomen. The black lines represented hair shafts with follicular structures. The lesion disappeared immediately after hair removal. No recurrence occurred in 4 weeks of follow-up. To our knowledge, this is the first description of ingrowing hair occurring in the abdomen.Keywords: cutaneous pili migrans, ingrowing hair, creeping hair |
