Abstract

Faun tail or Silky down is an abnormal posterior midline hypertichosis, usually lumbo-sacral, which maybe associated with spinal dysraphism. The appearance also causes psychological distress to the patient. This is a case report of a 14-year old female presenting with a faun tail over mid thoracic region, without any associated spinal anomaly. Permanent laser hair reduction was performed for cosmetic improvement, using triple wavelength laser
