Bilateral Nevus Comedonicus Successfully Treated with Topical Adapalene: A Case Report
Journal Title: Clinical Dermatology Open Access Journal - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Nevus comedonicus (NC) is a rare type of epidermal nevi characterized by aggregation of dilated follicular orifices filled with keratin. Although most cases occur unilaterally on the face, rarely, it may show a bilateral distribution (bilateral nevus comedonicus). Here, we report an unusual case of bilateral nevus comedonicus in a 7-year-old female child without systemic associations. In addition, and for the first time to be reported, she was treated successfully with Adapalene gel 0.1%.
