Abstract

We report on a man whose scalp hair was reddish since childhood but changed into dark-brown after the age of 50. His pubic hair and beard remained carrot coloured. A high level of arsenic in his scalp hair seemed to be a possible cause of the change from pheomelanogenesis to eumelanogenesis.
