Abstract

Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) is a rare form of epidermal nevus characterized by intensely pruritic inflammatory papules coalescing into verrucous plaques with Blaschko linear distribution. Various therapeutic modalities have been described, but no one therapy has been successful consistently. We report a case of a 1 and half year-old infant with ILVEN with special concern to its dermoscopic features.
