A Case of Blaschkitis / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Blaschkitis is an acquired inflammatory dermatosis that develops along the line of Blaschko. It has a similar appearance to lichen striatus but, shows a somewhat different clinical course and histopathologic findings. Spongiotic dermatitis-like histopathology, good response to glucocorticoid therapy and frequent relapses are the characteristic features that can differentiate it from lichen striatus and other dermatoses which follows the line of Blaschko. We report a case of Blaschkitis that showed a typical clinical course and histopathologic findings.
