Blaschko’S Lines

Background: Skin lesions present with innumerable patterns like discoid, petaloid, arcuate, annular, polycyclic, livedo, reticulate, target, stellate, digitate, linear, serpiginous and whorled. Most of the linear lesions follow the Blaschko’s lines. Aim was to study the incidence of linear dermatoses, the age and sex incidence, various types of clinical presentation, various sites of distribution and their clinical correlation. Methods: Detailed history including family history, History of disease documented with clinical examination. After counselling and after recording their consent for the test, skin biopsy along with routine investigations was done wherever needed and the results were evaluated. Results: Lichen striatus was seen in 29.91% followed by linear herpes zoster in 24.7%, linear lichen planus in 18.22%, linear verrucous epidermal nevus in 14.01%, segmental vitiligo in 3.73%, nevus depigmentation in 2.33% and others. Maximal cases were asymptomatic and reported for cosmetic reason. Intense itching was the main reason to bring the lichen planus patients and few cases of the lichen striatus patients for treatment. Conclusions: Lichen striatus was found to be more common, female preponderance. Majority of patients showed unilateral distribution more on the extremities. Histopathological correlation shows the importance of histopathology which ultimately changes the management in any given condition.

Blaschko’S Lines

Background: Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is believed to be a follicular variant of lichen planus that affects pilosebaceous units, mainly of the scalp. An extremely rare variant of LPP is a linear form, which follows the lines of Blaschko. Of the five previously documented cases of linear LPP, all were limited to the face. Objective: We report the case of a 34-year-old male who presented with a nonpruritic eruption on the trunk consisting of erythematous, keratotic, folliculocentric papules following Blaschko's lines. Results: Biopsy revealed lichenoid and interface dermatitis involving the basilar epidermis and hair follicles, as well as apoptotic keratinocytes, consistent with LPP. Conclusion: This represents the first documented case of LPP, following the Blaschko's lines, in a nonfacial distribution.
