    Seborrheic Keratoses(SK) are common benign skin tumors of elderly occurring commonly on face, scalp, extremities, chest, back with genital and perianal sites being rare. Lesions are usually few millimeters to several centimeters, reaching pendulous proportions in areas of constant friction, especially in obese individuals. Though malignant transformation is rare, it is reported in irritated lesions, especially in flexures.

    White piedra of scalp hair is considered a rare entity. We report three cases of this disorder all of whom presented with nodules on the hair. Potassium hydroxide preparations of the hair revealed clustered arthrospores and mature, easily detachable nodules. Cultures grew Trichosporon inkin in 2 patients and Trichosporon mucoides in one patient. Both these fungi are unusual causes of white piedra.
