Sus peinados incluían trencitas, una cola de caballo, coletas en ambos lados de la cabeza, una coleta de macramé y dos pacientes con extensiones de cabello. Las lesiones consistían en diminutas pústulas foliculares levemente dolorosas, rodeadas de eritema, localizadas exclusivamente en áreas de máxima tracción del pelo. Solo en un caso las lesiones se asociaron con alopecia por tracción. En dos casos en que se realizó cultivo bacteriano se aisló <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Staphylococcus aureus</span>.
