Eruptive Nevi on the Palms and Soles with no Association with an Underlying Disease or Medications

Acta Dermatovenerol Croat. 2019 Sep;27(3):180-183.

Abstract

Eruptive melanocytic nevi are an unusual phenomenon characterized by sudden onset of multiple melanocytic nevi on previously unaffected skin. The majority of case reports have linked this condition with blistering skin disease or immunosuppression. There are only three reports of eruptive nevi developing on the palms and /or soles in healthy individuals. Herein we present the clinical and dermoscopic features of two cases of eruptive acral nevi that developed in healthy individuals in the absence of any recognizable underlying disease and review the current literature of eruptive nevi.
