Abstract

Hair Diseases Drug Eruptions Pediatric Skin Diseases (incl. Genetic Diseases)
We report a case of a 2 year-old male patient who developed generalized hypertrichosis after 2 months of treatment with 5% minoxidil foam for alopecia areata. This report highlights the danger of prescribing  topical minoxidil to young children and the need to correctly instruct caretakers about its administration.
