A rare skin condition, acquired relapsing self-healing Blaschko dermatitis, presents as a unilateral, relapsing linear dermatosis following Blaschko's lines. This condition is characterized by spontaneous healing and spongiotic dermatitis on biopsy.

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Clinical Case Study

Background:

Blaschko's lines represent a pattern of epidermal development.
Acquired dermatoses following Blaschko's lines are uncommon.

Observation:

A 44-year-old woman presented with a 12-year history of unilateral, relapsing linear lesions.
Lesions included erythematous papules and papulovesicles along Blaschko's lines on limbs, trunk, and back.
Diffuse erythematous scaly hyperkeratosis of palms was also noted.

Findings:

Histopathology revealed acute and subacute spongiotic dermatitis.
The condition exhibited spontaneous healing of lesions.
The proposed term 'acquired relapsing self-healing Blaschko dermatitis' reflects its key characteristics.

Implications:

This case expands the understanding of dermatoses following Blaschko's lines.
The proposed terminology aids in classifying and diagnosing similar acquired conditions.
Further research may elucidate the pathogenesis of this unique dermatosis.
