چکیده

Sir, Linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis (LWNH) is characterized by hyperpigmented macules in a streaky configuration along the lines of Blaschko, without preceding inflammation or atrophy.[1-3] Lesions are distributed mainly on the trunk and extremities, sparing palms, soles, and mucosae. The usual age of the onset of hyperpigmentation occurs within the first few weeks of life, continues to progress for a year or two before stabilization.[4] There are very few case reports from India and abroad. We are reporting one such rare case of familial LWNH.

Gossypol did not significantly show antifeedant except with high concentration (1.7% gossypol in the diet) that gave 10.6, 21.9, and 46.8% for three generations, respectively.
