Abstract

{Figure 1} The exact mechanism of matting is not understood, but it may be caused by longitudinal splitting or feathering of hair, gluing of hair due to exudates from infected lesions on scalp, and frequent use of certain shampoos. The treatment consists of trimming of entangled hair, various hair-conditioning agents, treating the underlying cause such as antibiotics for infections, permethrin for pediculosis and treatment for psychiatric disorder.
