Mondo Description A rare developmental skin condition consisting of abnormal pilosebaceous follicle development. It is characterized by linear or band-like distributions of groups of comedones, usually on the face, neck, upper arm, chest, and abdomen, that appear at birth or in childhood.
Uniprot Description A rare type of epidermal nevus characterized by closely arranged, dilated, plugged follicular ostia in a honeycomb pattern. The plugged ostia contain lamellated keratinaceous material, and their appearance resembles black dots. NC may be non-pyogenic with an acne-like appearance or associated with the formation of cysts, papules, pustules, and abscesses. Most commonly it affects the face and neck area and, by exception, other anatomical regions, including genital area, palms, and soles. NC lesions might present with various patterns of distribution: unilateral, bilateral, linear, interrupted, segmental, or blaschkoid.
