Abstract:
Cutaneous pili migrans is a rare and interesting dermatological condition characterized by embedding a hair or its fragment in the epidermis or superficial dermis, sometimes leading to pain and a serpiginous rash. We present a 28-year-old male who came to the clinic concerned about the sudden onset of pain in his foot over 10 hours. Upon meticulous physical examination, we found a white hair embedded in the skin of the fifth toe of his left foot, which the patient immediately recognized as hair from his dog. Upon removal of the hair, the pain immediately resolved. We believe our case represents the first reported case in Panama, the second in Latin America, and the second associated with dog hair. We anticipate that more cases related to animal hairs will be reported in the coming years due to the increasing popularity of pets in this century.
摘要:
皮毛迁移是一种罕见且有趣的皮肤病,其特征是将头发或其碎片嵌入表皮或浅层真皮中,有时会导致疼痛和蛇形皮疹。我们介绍了一名28岁的男性,他来到诊所,担心脚部突然疼痛超过10个小时。经过细致的体检,我们在他的左脚第五趾的皮肤上发现了一根白发,病人立刻认出了他的狗的毛发。去除头发后,疼痛立即解决。我们相信我们的病例是巴拿马首例报道的病例,拉丁美洲的第二个,第二个与狗毛有关。我们预计,由于本世纪宠物的日益普及,未来几年将有更多与动物毛发有关的病例报道。
