Hair tourniquet syndrome (HTS) is a condition where the hair or thread wrapped around part of the body accidently. Commonly found around the toe but it can occasionally be found around the fingers, external genitalia and anywhere else. Here in our case we want to mention the importance of proper exam of the genitalia especially if the patient has chronic pain and tenderness at the genital area to exclude hair tourniquet as one of the differential diagnosis.
