Trichostasis Spinulosa: An Unusual Diagnosis Presenting as a Double Lower Eyelid.
Int J Trichology

Article Synopsis
- Trichostasis spinulosa (TS) is an often misdiagnosed skin condition affecting hair follicles, characterized by thickening around an enlarged follicle and trapping of certain hair types.
- It can be mistaken for other skin issues like acne and keratosis pilaris, and a specific case in a 16-year-old boy showed TS in an unusual spot on the lower eyelid, resembling a double eyelid.
- TS is common but frequently overlooked, so it's important for healthcare providers to consider this diagnosis, even when symptoms present in atypical locations, to avoid unnecessary treatments.
