Abstract

Acitretin is an oral retinoid with alopecia as a possible adverse effect. However, repigmentation of the hair color after acitretin is not a well-documented phenomenon. Herein, we introduce a case where a patient's hair color darkened after a course of acitretin.

Keywords: acitretin; canities; hair graying; hair repigmentation; retinoids.
