title: Halo eczema--resolution after excision of the central naevus alone.
abstract: We describe a patient with halo eczema around a benign pigmented compound naevus. The eczema resolved after excision of the central naevus alone; this allowed histological assessment of the naevus without the need for a large excision or for additional topical therapy.
