Scrotal hair in infancy: A case series

Abstract

Scrotal hair is a clinical condition that occurs rarely in infancy. Its prevalence is not known. We present a retrospective analysis of six patients referred to our pediatric endocrinology clinic. Except for scrotal hair development, all physical examinations were normal. Underlying pathologic hyperandrogenism was excluded in each case. Clinical regression was observed in all four infants with documented follow-up visits. Scrotal hair in infancy is not well known to most pediatricians and dermatologists and can cause parental anxiety. Our cases are typical of the benign course of isolated scrotal hair.
