Verrucous linear plaque following the lines of Blaschko over the right upper arm of a young girl
Inflammatory Linear Verrucous Epidermal Nevus is a rare disease of the skin that presents as multiple, discrete, red papules that tend to coalesce into linear plaques that follow the Lines of Blaschko. The plaques can be slightly warty (psoriaform) or scaly (eczema-like). ILVEN is caused by somatic mutations that result in genetic mosaicism.[1][2][3] There is no cure, but different medical treatments can alleviate the symptoms.
