Dermatol Online J. 2015 Nov 18;21(11):13030/qt2vg933vz.

Abstract

Blaschkitis is an acquired, rare dermatosis distributed along the lines of Blaschko. The papulovesicular eruption generally resolves in weeks and shows minimal response to topical steroids. Herein, we present a case of blaschkitis in an adult male who had lesions present for one year, which showed significant improvement after two weeks of topical clobetasol ointment.
