Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: We define rogue hairs as unusually long hairs on the face outside of the typical hormone-driven hair-bearing areas. These represent a common and previously undocumented phenomenon. This mixed-method study describes the frequency and clinical features of rogue hairs using a case series, patient survey, and social media analysis.
UNASSIGNED: Clinical cases were identified by dermatologists, and social media platforms were searched for additional cases. Social media comments were reviewed using qualitative thematic analysis. Surveys were administered to patients at an academic dermatology clinic.
UNASSIGNED: The case series revealed these hairs are seen in children and adults, men and women, and across races. Of the surveyed patients, 18% reported rogue hairs. Social media analysis highlighted common experiences of sudden appearance, frequent removal attempts, and minimal interaction with dermatologists.
UNASSIGNED: This mixed-method study defines rogue hairs on the face, underscoring their prevalence despite their benign nature. While the biological explanation for these hairs remains unknown, the study highlights the potential of social media as a tool for clinical inquiry and enhanced understanding of the patient experience. The study provides evidence-based information for individuals experiencing rogue hairs and prompts future research into the biologic mechanisms underlying this common phenomenon.
This research defines a new term called “rogue hairs” which are unusually long hairs on the face outside of the places where long hairs typically grow. These hairs are common but were not previously reported in medical literature. This study describes how often these hairs occur, where they occur, and other details about the people who have them. People with rogue hairs were identified by dermatologists, and social media platforms were searched to find additional people with these hairs. This study also used surveys and social media websites to learn about people with these hairs. The results showed that these hairs are seen in children and adults, men and women, and across races. Eighteen percent of the surveyed patients reported rogue hairs. Social media analysis showed common experiences of sudden appearance, frequent attempts to remove the hairs, and minimal interaction with dermatologists. The cause for these hairs is not known. This study highlights the potential of social media as a tool for answering clinical questions and better understanding the patient experience. The study provides evidence-based information for individuals experiencing rogue hairs and prompts future research into the causes of this common phenomenon.

摘要：
■我们将流氓毛发定义为典型的激素驱动的毛发区域之外的面部异常长的毛发。这些代表了一种常见且以前没有记录的现象。这项混合方法研究使用病例系列描述了流氓毛发的频率和临床特征，患者调查,社交媒体分析。
■临床病例由皮肤科医生鉴定，并在社交媒体平台上搜索其他案例。使用定性主题分析对社交媒体评论进行了审查。在学术皮肤科诊所对患者进行了调查。
■病例系列显示，这些毛发见于儿童和成人身上，男人和女人,跨越种族。在接受调查的病人中，18％的人报告了流氓头发。社交媒体分析强调了突然出现的常见经历，频繁的移除尝试，与皮肤科医生的互动最少。
■这项混合方法研究定义了脸上的流氓毛发，强调他们的患病率，尽管他们的良性性质。虽然这些毛发的生物学解释仍然未知，该研究强调了社交媒体作为临床查询工具和增强对患者体验的理解的潜力.该研究为经历流氓毛发的个体提供了基于证据的信息，并促使未来研究这种普遍现象的生物学机制。
这项研究定义了一个新术语，称为“流氓毛发”，即通常长毛发生长的地方之外的脸上的异常长毛发。这些毛发很常见，但以前在医学文献中没有报道过。这项研究描述了这些毛发发生的频率，它们发生的地方，以及拥有它们的人的其他细节。皮肤科医生发现了有流氓毛发的人，和社交媒体平台进行搜索，以找到更多的人与这些头发。这项研究还使用调查和社交媒体网站来了解有这些头发的人。结果显示这些毛发见于儿童和成人,男人和女人,跨越种族。18％的接受调查的患者报告了流氓头发。社交媒体分析显示了突然出现的常见经历，经常试图去除头发，与皮肤科医生的互动最少。这些头发的原因尚不清楚。这项研究强调了社交媒体作为回答临床问题和更好地了解患者体验的工具的潜力。该研究为经历无赖毛发的个体提供了基于证据的信息，并促使未来研究这种普遍现象的原因。
