TLDR Nevus comedonicus is a rare skin condition with grouped open pores, sometimes linked to other body issues.
Nevus comedonicus (NC) was an uncommon adnexal hamartoma characterized by linear groups of open comedones, though some argued true comedones were not present. It typically occurred alone but could be associated with systemic issues like skeletal or ocular anomalies. There was debate over its origin, with some viewing it as a mesodermal defect and others as an epidermal nevus involving hair follicles or sweat ducts.
