Halo dermatitis around a melanocytic naevus: Meyerson's naevus.
A case of halo dermatitis (eczema) around a pigmented naevus is reported. This appears to be a not uncommon condition which is not described in major dermatology textbooks. The relevant literature is reviewed, and the eponym 'Meyerson's naevus' is suggested.
