HAIR: Hypertrichosis after infectious rash SSTI: Skin and soft tissue infection INTRODUCTION Localized excess hair growth or hypertrichosis has been associated with several factors, including repeated skin trauma, periphery of burns, and insect bites.

Here I report the cases of 2 adults with a diagnosis of skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI) who subsequently had localized HAIR in the previously affected area.
