BACKGROUND: Khite (also known as fatlah in Egypt) is a manual
technique of temporary vellus hair removal that is widely performed
in the Middle East.
METHODS: The technique of khite is reviewed as illustrated.
RESULTS: Khite is an effective method of removing unwanted vellus
hairs.
CONCLUSIONS: Dermatologists in all parts of the world should
be familiar with khite, because the ease of international travel
may bring patients to their attention who have khite-association
complications such as erythema, folliculitis, and secondary pigmentary
changes.
