This case report discusses a rare instance of pressure alopecia in a four-year-old patient who developed an alopecic patch after a two-week stay in the intensive care unit. Despite early treatment with steroids and zinc pyrithione shampoo, the patient showed signs of scarring alopecia. Trichoscopy, which revealed comedone-like dots, was crucial in diagnosing this condition. The report highlights the importance of early detection and a high index of suspicion for pressure alopecia in pediatric patients with prolonged immobilization, as early intervention is key to preventing permanent hair loss.

May 2026 in “International Journal of Versatile Research and Analysis” The study utilizes air wedge interferometry to measure the thickness of human scalp hair from three individuals, achieving mean thicknesses of 66.482 µm, 59.355 µm, and 59.927 µm, all within the typical range for adult hair. This method, which involves creating interference fringes by sandwiching hair between glass plates and illuminating with sodium light, proves to be a precise, cost-effective, and non-destructive technique. The results highlight natural variability due to genetic and other factors, and the study advocates for the method's use in educational and industrial settings for fiber characterization.
