title: Persistent blaschkitis responsive to high potency topical steroids.
abstract: Blaschkitis is an acquired, rare dermatosis distributed along the lines of Blaschko. The papulovesicular eruption generally resolves in weeks and shows minimal response to topical steroids. Herein, we present a case of blaschkitis in an adult male who had lesions present for one year, which showed significant improvement after two weeks of topical clobetasol ointment.
