Abstract :
Sir, monilethrix is a rare hair shaft disorder with structural defect resulting in increased fragility. It is usually transmitted in an autosomal dominant pattern. Affected individuals usually have normal appearing hair at birth, which is replaced by short, fragile and brittle hair. Perifollicular erythema and follicular hyperkeratosis are commonly observed.
