Incontinencia pigmentaria
La incontinencia pigmentaria produce remolinos de pigmentación en la piel y es más común en las mujeres. Las lesiones de piel se dividen en tres etapas: ampollamiento (con vesículas y ampollas), el cual está presente al nacimiento o a las 6 ó 7 semanas de edad; etapa verrugosa (con verrugas parecidas a las virales) y una etapa final en la que se ven extraños diseños espirales de pigmentación oscura (hiperpigmentación).
