Folded Scalp Medically Known As Cutis Verticis Gyrata by taozhand(op): 6:57pm On Aug 06, 2018
Hello nairalanders!
I have a prominent scalp fold and its quite disturbing. I started noticing the skin fold at age 16,I used to cut my hair low before, but due to this disease I can't do that now. Please is there anything I fit do to cure am.
After doing much research I have come across the condition. It is called Cutis Verticis Gyrata. Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a descriptive term for a condition of the scalp manifesting as convoluted folds and furrows formed from thickened skin of the scalp resembling cerebriform pattern.
I wish to get rid of this folds before it worsens,anybody has an idea of how to get rid of it? God bless nairalanders.
For reference sake...attached pix.
