Abstract
We report two patients (7- and 9-year-old girls) with transverse nasal stripe accompanied by comedones and milia in the distal third of the nose between the alar and septal cartilages. We suspect that repeated upward rubbing of the nose caused the lesions. In addition, a distortion in growth that developed at the junction of the nasal cartilages may have played a role in the pathogenesis of the disorder. To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of this disorder in the literature from Asia.
