ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The incidence of hypotrichosis of pubis and atrichia pubis is relatively higher in oriental countries including Korea.OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to develop a treatment method to increase the density and to improve the distribution pattern of pubic hair in these patients.METHODS:
Testosterone cream(5%) was applied to ten patients for six months. Then, the individual hair transplantation from the parietotemporal region of the scalp with the specially devised mini-punch was performed. Around the mons pubis, transplantation with 2-3mm punch was done. Postoperatively, the application of testosterone cream was done twice a day.RESULTS:
Nine of ten patients were satisfied with the final results. Testosterone cream helped to increase the density of pubic hair. Transplanted hairs showed curling to some extent and did not grow like as it were at donor site.CONCLUSION:
The advantage of this method is to make the appearance of pubic hairs more natural by controlling the direction and numbers of transplanting hairs at the time of operation and by making the hair denser with pre- and post-operative application of testosterone cream. The authors hope many dermatologic surgeons to use this new treatment approach for atrichia pubis and hypotrichosis of pubis.
