Abstract:
Nevus comedonicus is an uncommon skin disorder that clinically appears as linear groups of open comedones. A 6-year-old female patient presented with a nevus comedonicus accompanied by an epidermal nevus in her genital area. The histopathologic finding showed an atrophic, cystically dilated hair follicle containing abundant keratinous debris. She was treated with oral antibiotics. We report here on an unusual case of nevus comedonicus that occurred in the genital area.
