title: Electroplaning of non-inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevi (LVEN).
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The non-inflammatory linear verrucous subtype of epidermal nevi (LVEN) although generally benign, can be aesthetically displeasing and functionally disfiguring to patients.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To provide a permanent improvement in the clinical appearance of LVEN with minimal scarring.
  
  
  METHODS
  Electroplaning with Surgitron® FFPF EMC was the chosen method of treatment.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Electroplaning is a simple, safe, and effective method for improving the appearance of non-inflammatory linear epidermal nevi.
