Comments

This healthy 9-year-old boy had widespread hypopigmented patches along the lines of Blaschko. Although the lesions became more prominent with increasing age (and sun exposure), they were stable and present since birth. There was no family history of similar lesions and no history of a preceding inflammatory phase.
