Dermoscopy of Nevus Comdonicus

Abstract

Nevus sebaceous or comedo naevus is a rare benign hamartoma of the folliculo-sebaceous unit. It is characterized by bundles of papules having dilated follicular openings and keratinous plugs within. We report a case of nevus comedonicus diagnosed based on clinical-histopathological & dermoscopic findings in a 12-year-old male child treated who showed mild improvement with topical retinoids.
