SUMMARY. Autoradiographic methods have been used in a study of human hair growth. Observations on patients with psoriasis and eczema have shown no difference in hair growth rate in the lesions and unaffected skin, nor between the latter and hair growth in normal controls. Mean growth during the day was greater than at night, but the difference was not statistically significant.
