Abstract
Monilethrix is a rare condition characterised by beading of hairs. It is a structural defect of hair with increased fragility, inherited as an autosomal dominant condition. It shows a considerable variation in the age of onset, severity and course. Various treatments have been tried with varying results. We are presenting a case report of 18 years old female patient with monilethrix. She complained of diffuse hair fall from the whole of scalp from last 10 years. Multiple papules over the nape of neck, back and extremities were present. Microscopy and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was put on iron and conditioning shampoo.
