abstract: A 6-year-old girl presented with necrosis of the left labium minus. An encircled hair at the base of the lesion was seen, and the diagnosis genital hair tourniquet syndrome was made. Genital hair tourniquet syndrome in children is a rare but potentially severe syndrome that requires immediate medical attention to prevent resulting necrosis.
