X-linked Angioma serpiginosum

A rare benign congenital skin disorder characterized by nonpurpuric red punctate lesions that correspond to capillary ECTASIA in the superficial papillary dermis. The lesions often follow Blaschko lines (usually invisible lines on the skin that trace cell migration paths during embryonic development) and most commonly occur in females. OMIM: 300652
