Abstract
Hair tourniquet syndrome is a clinical phenomenon that involves hair or thread becoming so tightly wrapped around an appendage that pain, swelling and occasionally ischemia result. We report two cases of hair tourniquet syndrome that affected the digits and were treated with hair removal cream, which was an easy, effective and less invasive treatment method compared with standard managements such as incision or blunt probe cutting techniques.
