title: Linear verrucous nevus.
abstract: Linear verrucous nevi may be troublesome lesions to extirpate with satisfactory cosmetic results. Conventional practice has been to excise then in full-thickness skin. A simpler technique of shaving them off to a depth between the papillary and reticular dermis and allowing spontaneous re-epithelization from the remaining portions of adnexa is recommended as better and cosmetically more satisfactory.
