Halo Dermatitis Around Junctional Nevus / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Halo dermatitis (Meyerson's nevus) is an inflammatory, eczematous eruption usually encircling a preexisting melanocytic nevus. Spontaneous healing occurs within several weeks or months and is never concurrent with regression of the central nevus, in contrast to halo nevus (Sutton's nevus). Although halo dermatitis is often associated with central melanocytic nevi, pathogenesis leading to the morphological change of this disorder remains obscure. Herein, we report a case of a 23-year-old female who developed an eczematous halo reaction surrounding the junctional nevi.
