A novel finding of hair growth like vellus hairs on glabrous skin of distal phalanx of thumb in Vogt-Koynagi-Harada Disease
Abstract
This article reports a case of a 25-year-old female patient who presented with an unusual complaint of hair growth on the palmar surface of the thumb and side of the nail two years after being diagnosed with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKHD). Initially, the disease mimicked optic neuritis, later developing into bilateral pan-uveitis with serous retinal detachments and alopecia. The hairs were fine, short, and lasted for 4-6 weeks. The recurrence of fine hair growth on the palmar surface is a novel finding, not previously reported in VKHD. This case highlights a rare dermatological manifestation associated with VKHD, expanding the spectrum of its integumentary complications.
