Presentation
There is a report on initial presentation as neonatal alopecia [ 5 ]. [omicsonline.org]
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]
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]

Classification of these conditions often presents many nosological challenges, since underlying etiologies and pathogenetics are often not known. [howlingpixel.com]

Onset
- 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]

Woolly Hair Syndrome Treatment Studies are being conducted to find an effective treatment for woolly hair syndrome. However, researchers have so far not been able to find any appropriate treatment for this condition. [healthiro.com]
There is generally no treatment required for Epidermal Nevus, which is a benign skin lesion. [dovemed.com]
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]
