A two-day-old full-term male baby born out of nonconsanguineous marriage was brought to Dermatology OPD with complaints of black dots over the left leg. Examination revealed multiple dilated follicular openings filled with black plugs resembling comedones over hypopigmented skin distributed in groups over the right leg extending from upper thigh till ankle arranged linearly in blaschkoid pattern [Figure 1 and Figure 2].

Figure 2 : Dilated follicular openings with black plugs on hypopigmented skin

A diagnosis of nevus comedonicus(NC) was made. Examination and appropriate investigations were done to rule out the involvement of central nervous system, skeletal and ocular involvement, thus excluding NC syndrome.[1] NC is a rare hamartoma derived from pilosebaceous unit, frequently affecting face, neck, trunk and upper limb while the involvement of lower limb as seen in this baby is uncommon.[2]

  1. He Makes Money Online WITHOUT Traffic!

    Most people believe that you need traffic to profit online…
    And for the most part, they’re right!
    Fact is.. 99.99% of methods require you to have traffic.
    And that in itself is the problem..
    Because frankly, getting traffic is a pain in the rear!
    Don’t you agree?
    That’s why I was excited when a good friend told me that he was profiting, but with ZERO traffic.
    I didn’t believe him at first…
    But after he showed me the proof, it’s certainly the real deal!
    I’m curious what your thoughts are.
