ResumoIncontinentia pigmenti is characterized by swirled hyper‐pigmentation associated with incontinence of pigment. A different pattern may be seen on the legs with light‐colored atrophic scarred areas admixed with patches of normal but darker skin. Histologic examination confirms that the darker skin is normal without incontinence of pigment, while the light‐colored skin lacks melanocytes and appendages but has dermal fibrosis.
