title: Hairy elbows.
abstract: Hairy elbows (hypertrichosis cubiti) represent an uncommon variety of localized hypertrichosis not associated with significant medical problems. This hypertrichosis occurs in young children and may occur sporadically or possibly be genetically determined. The process is of cosmetic concern alone, and reassuring the parents is the only therapy necessary.
