Abstract
The dyschromatoses are a group of disorders characterized by the presence of both hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules, many of which are small in size and irregular in shape. Localized dyschromatosis is a rare manifestation of dyschromatosis. Localized dyschromatosis showing segmental distribution may be a result of degeneration of localized cutaneous nerves. We report a case of localized dyschromatosis, with segmental distribution, with co-occurrence of blue naevi and cherry angiomas.
