Nevus depigmentosus (ND), also known as nevus achromicus or achromic nevus, is an uncommon congenital hypomelanosis of the skin that is often characterized as being nonprogressive and having serrated borders. It needs to be distinguished from other hypopigmented skin conditions such as nevus anemicus, hypomelanosis of Ito, Fitzpatrick patches (ash leaf spots) of tuberous sclerosis, vitiligo, indeterminate leprosy, and pigment demarcation lines. Treatment may be desired for aesthetic and possible psychosocial considerations. We review and update knowledge about ND and its simulants.

Phytophotodermatitis (PPD) is a toxic reaction resulting from contact with a photosensitizing botanical chemical followed by exposure to solar or artificial UV light. It may present with bizarre patterns and linear streaks due to a phototoxic agent splashing onto various cutaneous sites; thus, it affects the skin at points of contact and exposure to UV light. Individuals typically experience symptoms within 24 hours of exposure. Children and adolescents seem particularly prone to developing PPD, as they tend to spend time in the sun and also may come into contact with common irritants such as wild parsley in lawn grass or beverages flavored with lime. However, PPD may be more than a recreational dermatitis; it also may represent a serious occupational dermatosis. In any case, the resultant acute dermatitis may be mild or severe with painful bullae and occasionally is more prominently evident as postinflammatory hyperpigmentation.

“…Other considerations include solar protection in lesser pigmented body regions and the possibility of patients unduly focusing on this pigmentary anomaly . PDLs may be particularly troubling when they appear on the face . Christian August Voigt (1808‐1890) was an Austrian anatomist born in Brody, Poland, renowned for hair and skin research, who first described pigmentary demarcation lines in the mid‐1800 .…”
