Hypertrichosis Cubiti Presenting in a Female Child: A Case Report

Hypertrichosis cubiti is a rare form of unusual hair growth in the arms around the elbow area. Here, we report a case of hypertrichosis cubiti in a six-year-old female child with a sacral cleft, otherwise of normal health. Specifically, terminal hair growth was observed in this case. The excessive hair growth often poses aesthetic concerns for patients and can be treated to avoid emotional distress regarding physical appearance. Management of the condition typically involves common hair removal techniques, and over-the-counter depilatory creams and shaving were used to treat this case.
