Incontinentia Pigmenti treatment in Mexico City

Incontinentia pigmenti is a rare genetic disorder that mainly affects the skin, although it can also involve the teeth, hair, nails, and, at times, the eyes or nervous system.

Common symptoms: On the skin, lesions are described that evolve in stages, from blisters to areas with color changes that follow characteristic lines.

Common causes: It has a hereditary origin linked to chromosomal alterations and appears mostly in the first years of life.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist evaluates the skin manifestations, often in coordination with genetics and pediatrics. In the presence of unusual skin lesions in childhood, especially if there is a family history, a careful professional evaluation is recommended.
