July 2025 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal” This case study discusses trichotillomania incognita (TTM-i) in a 22-year-old female, which mimicked female patterned hair loss (FPHL). TTM-i, a variant of trichotillomania, typically presents as diffuse hair loss without the classic alopecic patches and has been primarily observed in children. This is the first reported case in an adult. The patient exhibited an anxious personality and denied intentional hair pulling. Trichoscopic and histological examinations revealed features consistent with TTM, such as trichoptilosis and flame hairs, but lacked perifollicular micro-hemorrhages, which are present in about 40% of TTM cases. The study highlights the importance of trichoscopy and histopathology in diagnosing TTM-i to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.
