ICD Codes
ICD-9-CM: 704.3 – Variations in hair
ICD-10-CM: L67.1 – Variations in hair

a circumscribed patch or patches of grey or white hair. Poliosis may occur in a number of syndromes, including Waardenburg syndrome, piebaldism, and others, as listed in Differential Diagnosis & Pitfalls. Poliosis may also be seen in association with regressing melanoma, vitiligo, halo nevi, and in alopecia areata when new hairs grow.
In addition, poliosis may overlie other kinds of lesions, including neurofibromas, giant congenital nevi, congenital intradermal nevi, nevus depigmentosus, and melanoma. Poliosis has been observed following herpes zoster infection. Interestingly, postherpetic permanent hair repigmentation has also recently been described.
In migratory poliosis, circumscribed areas of grey or white hair migrate to different areas on the scalp. This condition is thought to represent a variant of alopecia areata.
Poliosis may also be seen in association with a number of drugs, including chloroquine, cyclosporine, and topical prostaglandin F2α analogs. The pathogenesis of poliosis has not yet been defined but is thought to be multifactorial.
One theory is that autoimmune or inflammatory diseases can damage melanocytes, leading to localized loss of pigment.
