Abstract:
Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a genodermatosis, which is of X-linked dominant transmission, uncommonly diagnosed in newborn babies. The skin lesions usually develop in 4 stages: inflammatory, hypertrophic, pigmentary and regressive. The authors report 2 cases of IP in female newborn babies who were previously treated for pyodermatitis.
