Fundaments: Inflammatory Linear Verrucous Epidermal Nevus (ILVEN) is an uncommon condition, which presents early in childhood as erythematous pruritic papules or plaques in an asymmetrical pattern. The lesions tend to appear on the left side of the body and are extremely resistant to treatment, which make this disease a psychological and social burden on the children and parents alike.
