Indian study points to Turban Triad skin disease - Video
Overview
Turban Triad- a new entity1
Sikhism is a religion of the Indian subcontinent in which cutting scalp hair is forbidden. Turban is a long scarf wrapped around the head for protecting the hair wore by most Sikhs the entire day. An article describing a new triad of symptoms and signs seen in these populations was recently published in the Indian Dermatology Online Journal.
A teenage girl presented with a 3‑year history of painful, nonhealing erythematous thickened skin over antihelix and retro auricular folds with comedones and inflammatory papules limited to the forehead. She also had symmetrical areas of alopecia along the frontotemporal areas along with the short hair scattered along the frontotemporal line (fringe sign). All of the features could be explained by the turban headgear wore regularly for the last 5 years. She was diagnosed with a turban ear, acne mechanica, and traction alopecia, all stemming from tightly wrapping the turban around her head with lesions in areas of maximum contact with turban.
