uncombable hair syndrome

However, unlike these conditions, uncombable hair syndrome alone is not associated with physical, neurologic, or mental abnormalities.

Dermatologists say they enjoy the variety of a specialty that encompasses serious illnesses like skin cancer and psoriasis as well as conditions like uncombable hair syndrome.

Other syndromes with hair abnormalities may also show features of uncombable hair syndrome such as Rapp-Hodgkin ectodermal dysplasia syndrome, loose anagen syndrome, EEC syndrome (ectodermal dysplasia, ectrodatyly and cleft lip/palate) and familial tricho-odonto-onychial ectodermal dysplasia with syndactyly.
