Abstract:
Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) is a variant of keratinocytic epidermal nevi. In contrast to noninflammatory epidermal naevi, ILVEN is less common, typically erythematous, and persistently pruritic. It usually appears at birth or in early childhood and follows a linear distribution along Blaschko's lines. Genital or perigenital involvement is relatively rare. We report a case of ILVEN on the labia majora of an 11-year-old female. ILVEN usually presents on extremities and trunk, but is uncommon on the genitalia.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
