Pili multigemini
Medical condition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Description
The name describes a condition where several separate hair fibers bunch together and emerge from the skin through a single hair canal. Pathology shows that deep in the skin several dermal papillae are closely situated with each producing a fiber, but these separate hair follicle bulbs combine into one hair canal towards the skin surface. Folliculitis can sometimes be associated with this condition.[2]
Treatment
Electrology will permanently remove pili multigemini. Depilating laser treatment has been suggested to improve symptomatic pili multigemini.[5]
