	~~== Introduction ==~~		'''Pili multigemini''' is a rare [[hair follicle]] disorder characterized by the emergence of multiple hair shafts from a single follicle. This condition is considered a variant of [[pili bifurcati]] and is often observed in the [[scalp]], [[beard]], and other areas of the body where hair grows.
	Pili multigemini~~, commonly referred to as compound hairs,~~ is a hair follicle ~~malformation. It is~~ characterized by the ~~presence~~ of multiple hair shafts ~~emerging~~ from a single ~~hair~~ follicle. This condition is ~~relatively rare~~ and ~~can occur~~ in ~~any hair-bearing area~~ of the body.

	~~<youtube>~~		==Pathophysiology==
	~~title~~=~~'''{{PAGENAME}}'''~~		Pili multigemini occurs when multiple hair matrices form within a single follicle, leading to the development of several hair shafts that emerge together. This phenomenon is due to the presence of multiple [[dermal papillae]] within a single follicle, each capable of producing a hair shaft. The exact cause of this condition is not well understood, but it is believed to be a developmental anomaly of the hair follicle.

These clusters can appear as thick, coarse hair and may be more noticeable in areas where hair is typically finer. The condition is usually asymptomatic, but some individuals may experience cosmetic concerns or difficulty with shaving or hair removal.

However, if cosmetic concerns arise, options such as [[laser hair removal]] or electrolysis may be considered to reduce the appearance of the affected hair.

	* Increased risk of ingrown hairs and folliculitis due to the ~~thick nature~~ of the ~~hairs~~.

The prognosis for individuals with pili multigemini is excellent, as the condition is benign and does not lead to any significant health issues. It is primarily a cosmetic concern.
