Abstract
Hyperthyroidism is known to cause thin, brittle hair, and premature graying. Hair shaft abnormalities in hyperthyroidism have not been described in the literature. A visible and microscopic change in the hair shaft due to cosmetic procedures and environmental factors is known as hair weathering. Herein, we report a case of hair weathering in an adult female with hyperthyroidism with unique dermoscopic features.
