Presentation
There is a report on initial presentation as neonatal alopecia [ 5 ]. [omicsonline.org]
We describe an 11-year-old boy who initially presented with multiple patches of woolly hair and with epidermal nevi on his left cheek and back. He had no nail, teeth, eye, or cardiac abnormalities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients presenting with woolly hair must be examined completely to rule out cardiofaciocutaneous and Noonan syndrome. We present a 5-year-old with Type A woolly hair nevus. [ijpd.in]
Classification of these conditions often presents many nosological challenges, since underlying etiologies and pathogenetics are often not known. [howlingpixel.com]
In over half of the reported cases, a pigmented or epidermal nevus has been present, but not always at the same site. 2 We present a case of woolly hair nevus type I with no associated anomalies, which is quiet a rare phenomenon. [jemds.com]

Hereditary forms of this condition do run in families and is a dominant trait, meaning a child will have kinky hair even if the genetic trait is passed on by only one parent. [wisegeek.com]

Onset in Adolescence
We report the first case of woolly hair nevus with onset during adolescence. Marked improvement was evident 5 years after onset. Light microscopic examination of a biopsy specimen from the scalp showed a curved hair follicle. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

At the end of the study we observed that (i) potent topical steroids are safe and effective in child- hood, (ii) an early aggressive treatment gives the best therapeutic response, (iii) one follow-up visit a year is required to monitor for relapsing. [dev.docslide.net]

Prognosis
What is the Prognosis of Epidermal Nevus? (Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Epidermal Nevus is good, especially with a surgical approach. [dovemed.com]
Etiology
Classification of these conditions often presents many nosological challenges, since underlying etiologies and pathogenetics are often not known. [howlingpixel.com]
Classification and etiology Autosomal dominant woolly hair. This has been reported in six generations of Rhineland family, suggesting autosomal dominant inheritance. 2- Autosomal recessive woolly hair. [hairscientists.org]
(Etiology) The majority of Epidermal Nevi (plural of Nevus) are sporadic, i.e. they occur after birth, without a genetic basis. [dovemed.com]
Pathophysiology
The former represent genetic transmission, whereas the woolly hair nevus is nonhereditary with exact pathophysiology unknown. Histological evaluation of woolly hair has varied in the literature. [dev.docslide.net]
Prevention
Your skin Holds body fluids in, preventing dehydration Keeps harmful microbes out, preventing infections Helps you feel things like heat, cold, and pain Keeps your body temperature even Makes vitamin D when the sun shines on it Anything that irritates [icdlist.com]
Surgical removal has proven to be the most successful treatment method; though, it is associated with certain risks How can Epidermal Nevus be Prevented? Currently, there are no known means of preventing Epidermal Nevi occurrence. [dovemed.com]
